This book is entitled Earth and Space. The first 10 chapters are about earthquakes, rocks and all things geological. The remaining 4 chapters cover the planets, the sun, the rest of the galaxy and finally Newtons laws of motion and gravity.
To me these two areas (geology and physics) make very strange bed fellows. I could not get into the geology part of the book at all and struggled to be interested. The physics portions I found much more interesting and found I wanted to know more. I think that some of the later books cover this a bit more.
This is the first time you get to use the practical kit, in this case looking at rock samples using a hand lens, which was interesting for a while.
Overall I didn't enjoy the geology but i'm looking forward to more physics.
