About the book: (from the book)
Billions of years ago, the world was born in a blaze of fire- but it was not a world that we, or any living creature, would ever recognize. Know About The World chronicles the incredible story of the transformation of our earth from that first terrifying explosion to the time, a scant fifty thousand years ago, when man himself emerged to face and master a hostile environment.
In this remarkable book you will see and read about the thundering volcanoes and never-ceasing earthquakes that shook our lifeless earth for millions of years… the boiling seas that gave birth to the first primitive life forms…the nightmare ages when giant dinosaurs and ferocious mammals ruled land and sea…the Great Ice Age that gripped the planet for thousands of years. ..and the amazing, awesome story of Man’s progress through the frightening darkness of prehistory to the dawn of civilization.
