"Written at a level accessible to high-school students, this atlas provides a comprehensive survey of the development of the Earth from about four billion years ago to the present.... Geological and biological developments of each era are presented by means of well-written text, maps, timelines, illustrations, and photographs...The 400 full-color illustrations, photographs, and maps in this atlas are outstanding and should stimulate the interest of students....This set pulls together key concepts on the development of the Earth and presents them in a very attractive, interesting manner. It is recommended for high-school and public libraries."
