Part of Your World Practical Earth Science Knowledge for the

[butterfly7]

Part of Your World by Cindy Wright is an extremely useful and informative piece of work. It serves as a diving board into the deep end of earth science and the study of the Universe as a whole. The potential for learning and the amount of topics Part of Your World covers makes it a one stop reference for astronomy, bits of scientific history, earthquakes, geology, plate tectonics, the weather and more. Rather than adding unneeded complications, Wright eases the work involved in understanding science. This would be an awesome read for students studying earth science because of its conciseness and breadth. A reader can be secure in the knowledge that he or she has a thorough preliminary comprehension of the basics. With its easy readability, large type, and vast scientific lessons it is the perfect stepping stone to science mastery without an excruciating amount of effort to understand.

Part of Your World encompasses the practical knowledge of what everyone should know, not just academics. There is no wasting of time: Wright jumps straight from defining what makes a planet and goes on to describe the Solar System. This is a priceless attribute to have in a book. Being able to explore a subject in the span of a few minutes rather than reading page after page encourages the reader to go on and absorb all the knowledge offered. Thankfully, the information is interesting and at times surprising from the amount of time it takes Neptune to rotate once around the Sun to the size of the Sun itself. These are just the most basic of facts included. There are colored schematics that show detail into a world that is not always seen, but is always experienced indirectly in the lives of everyone. This book can help one notice this world. Even after years of education, it can be an eye-opening experience to find how many facts have often been lost or missed about the universe we live in. That is why Part of Your World is a useful read for everyone.

One interesting aspect of Part of Your World is that at times scientific discovery and history is mentioned. Rather than being just a set of facts known today, it focuses on the lives of scientists and reminds the reader than science as we know it has been a process of learning by trial and error for centuries. It makes one appreciate the methods, not just the results. It is really surprising to see so much information about so many subjects put into such a neat and easily digestible work like this. It is a totally necessary resource to read to help expand your knowledge of so many facets of science it would be mundane to list all of them. However, Part of Your World contains just as much flavor as the zest of the world it describes. This work not only focuses on textbook facts suitable for study, but it also keeps part of the focus on the interplay Nature has on Mankind and on the effects Mankind has on Nature. This is good for complete understanding, because it includes the viewer as part of the overall effect of the painting. With a good picture of how we exist on Earth, we know that our understanding is not just dependent on basic facts but also the human experience as well. Read and enjoy!
