A surprising new account of the planet we inhabit.
Written by Nigel Calder
Introduced by Magnus Magnusson

The last few years have brought a revolution in our understanding of the Earth. For the first time Man can tell why earthquakes and volcanoes occur; how mountains and oceans are made.
Research in progress around the world is telling afresh the story of our planet in the light of this new knowledge.

'Restless Earth,' a fully illustrated book by Nigel Calder, is available from booksellers price £1.90
