Earth By the Numbers

Through infographics, illustrations, facts, and figures, readers will learn about the
complex and wonderful place we call home, Earth.

Discover some of the most fascinating aspects of our planet through astonishing
numbers: the stretch of time from Earth's formation to the present, the misleading
way the surface area of a continent can appear on a map, the angle of Earth's axis
that creates the seasons, what percentage of Earth's land is covered in deserts or
forests or cities, and so much more.

With his signature style, Steve Jenkins explores the most fascinating fields of natural
science.
