Formerly Space and Earth Science, 3rd Ed., this new edition features a new cover, new title, and newly reworked and added content. Two scientists-one portraying a secular, the other a biblical-perspective, will help to guide you through the text. Moving from the ground up, students will learn the history of the earth; the soil, rocks, and fossils; oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers; the atmosphere; and space. Special boxes throughout the text provide different notes on items of biblical, earth science, maps/mapping, geographic locations, and information on the changing climate debate. Unfamiliar words are defined with their etymology; short biographies may also be highlighted in the sidebar. Section review questions and chapter review summaries with review questions are also included. 714 pages, glossary and index included. 4th Edition. Grade 8. '
