Description:
(Cape Town: Struik, 2005) 1770071482. 240 x 172 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. 333; lavishly illustrated in full colour, with maps, diagrams, charts and photographs. Slight damp-ripple to extreme bottom fore-corner of initial leaves. Very good condition.

Along the way readers will be enthralled by accounts of the Big Bang that marked the beginning of time and matter, by drifting and colliding continents, folding and…
