The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
"This is the story of the earth from the beginning of life to the beginning of history. Giant dinosaurs and Brontosauruses, sea beasts and dragons of the air, the saber-toothed tiger and the little animal that became the ancestor of the human race, move through its pages. The reader learns of the many periods of the earth's history and how they have been pieced together from the fascinating records left by plant and animals fossils, ancient skeletons, and rock formations.
"The first edition of The Earth for Sam, written for the author's young nephew and published in 1930, speedily became an acknowledged favorite and has been a leader in its field ever since. It has now been thoroughly revised by a well-known scientist and educator to include the latest scientific findings. This new edition, which has been completely redesigned and which is lavishly illustrated throughout with new photographs, offers young readers of today a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of one of the most exciting and important branches of scientific knowledge."

**May contain references to evolution and other things that don't necessarily align with our views here at Exodus. Nevertheless, it has some very good information about the Earth and science in general.
