Filling his pages with curious facts, brief biographies, and scientific theories about Earth's inner structure, Whitehouse proffers explanations of Earth's formation, the origin of the Moon, and more. This is a fascinating investigation of geologic history., The author's brimming passion for his subject is obvious. This is an excellent prospect of the many people who enjoyed Dava Sobel's Longitude, and deserves to be widely read., Whitehouse intertwines facts with compelling retellings of research expeditions and throwbacks to Verne's classic tale. Into the Heart of Our World is a great introduction to the mysteries of Earth's depths that will leave readers clamoring for a more in-depth trip into the planet., =Whitehouse intertwines facts with compelling retellings of research expeditions and throwbacks to Verne's classic tale.
