Book

Discover everything from the ancient wonder of fossilized plants and animals to the curious beauty of minerals and crystals. This compelling guide is packed with Basher beings who come together to create the foundations of our planet. Unlock the mysteries of the ground beneath our feet, learn how the island of Surtsey was created from a volcanic eruption in just a few days, and find out which mineral can be found on Mars. Finally, realise how rocks and minerals form essential parts of our daily lives: sparkly diamond earrings, copper wires, graphite pencils and even in talcum powder.
