With five intricate pop-ups that depict what the planet looked like when it was younger as well as one highlighting the importance of water for life to begin and evolve， another that shows its very hot core， yet another that is a fascinating house of cards demonstrating the balance provided by biodiversity， and yet another one that reminds readers that the story of humans on Earth is only a small part of the planet's history， this book is visually stunning。 I've seen a lot of pop-ups books， but With five intricate pop-ups that depict what the planet looked like when it was younger as well as one highlighting the importance of water for life to begin and evolve， another that shows its very hot core， yet another that is a fascinating house of cards demonstrating the balance provided by biodiversity， and yet another one that reminds readers that the story of humans on Earth is only a small part of the planet's history， this book is visually stunning。 I've seen a lot of pop-ups books， but this one has to be one of the most beautiful presentations that I've ever encountered。 The information presented in the text is interesting and eco-friendly， reminding readers that humans have caused many problems in the short time we've been on Earth and that this planet is inhabited through a series of fortunate events， some natural disasters， and luck。 Readers will finish it with a sense of awe and wonder and perhaps a renewed sense of responsibility toward this good， green Earth and its future。 Another reviewer wondered about accuracy of the statement that "It was not until around six thousand years ago that it became the blue and green planet that we know today" （unpaged）。 I'm assuming that refers to land mass shifts and the amount of water on Earth， but I'm not certain。 It would have been helpful to have some references or resources for the curious readers to learn more about Earth's history and what humans can do to protect the planet。 Still， despite my concerns or questions， this book impressed me with its intricacy and ambitiousness。 The design is smart too since the pop-up pages are followed by double-page spreads without pop-ups but with additional information about the topic introduced on the previous pages with the pop-ups。 。。。more

There’s a puzzling error （error？） on the second page of this book。 Describing the planet’s formation， the text reads， “It was not until around six thousand years ago that it became the blue and green planet that we know today。”So， 6000 years ago was about the time humans started to settle and domesticate plants。 The planet would have appeared green and blue from space for many millions of years by then。 The 6000 years statement is repeated in a caption， and I mean。。。 that’s got to be an error ri There’s a puzzling error （error？） on the second page of this book。 Describing the planet’s formation， the text reads， “It was not until around six thousand years ago that it became the blue and green planet that we know today。”So， 6000 years ago was about the time humans started to settle and domesticate plants。 The planet would have appeared green and blue from space for many millions of years by then。 The 6000 years statement is repeated in a caption， and I mean。。。 that’s got to be an error right？ Is there any metric I’m missing？ Maybe that’s when the Bering land bridge went under water for the last time？I don’t know， and I sincerely want to find a logical answer， because this is a GORGEOUS book， a tempting and sumptuous pop-up with a rich color palette and lots of fascinating details。 。。。more
