DESCRIPTION:
"Plate Tectonics" according to Amanda. Great science book for children. A Customer said Plate Tectonics. This book discusses the theory of plate tectonics and how it connects to volcanic and earthquake activity. It gives the history of how the plate tectonic theory evolved and includes many small pictures and diagrams. Relevant and interesting examples are provided in boxed areas, but a few boxed areas that appear in the middle of pages are distracting. At times I was wi. just what my grandson wanted dee l my eight year old grandson reguested a book on plate tectonics?? after a lot of searching we decided on this.he was just delighted!!!!

This is an informative series designed to satisfy inquisitive young minds.. Each book in this series develops a fundamental concept of science. Each title explains the concept, gives some background, and discusses current applications and developments
. The full-color photos, maps, and diagrams are for the most part well captioned and informative. All in all, a competent introduction to the topic.Jonathan Betz-Zall, Sno-Isle Regional Library System, Edmonds, WA Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. Sean Grady's Plate Tectonics (Lucent, 1991; o.p.) has better diagrams of earthquake waves but doesn't draw as close connections with biological evolution as the Silversteins do. Roy Gallant's Earth (Marshall Cavendish, 1998) lacks the color illustrations but covers the same topics in greater depth and has a more reliable selection of Web sites. The list for further reading includes several pages of Internet addresses. The writing is clear, with several real-life examples to add immediacy and relevance to the text.
