Open this book. 1000 Earth Mysteries is a fun and engaging popular science book. Human understanding of ourselves and the objective world is endless. Good popular science books should not only explain scientific knowledge in an easy-to-understand way but also inspire young readers to maintain a spirit of exploration in the face of previous scientific discoveries. This is exactly the feature of 1000 Earth Mysteries. For some controversial scientific conclusions, the author doesn’t choose one authoritative view to settle the matter but instead poses questions to introduce various perspectives to young readers, broadening their horizons and stimulating their curiosity. For example, regarding the formation of the Moon, the author presents three scientific hypotheses: the Moon is a part of Earth’s mantle; the Moon is a planet captured by Earth from space; the Moon is the result of a meteor impact on Earth. Today’s young readers, tomorrow’s scientists. The purpose of this book is to help children understand the Earth, love, and preserve the environment we live in.
