Professor Dougal Jerram
So, you are about to embark on a truly epic adventure. You are going to dig to the middle of the Earth. But you are going to need more than a spade for this mammoth task!
This book examines the science behind digging to the centre of Earth. It details what is beneath the planet’s surface, the best ways of getting to the middle of the planet and what sorts of obstacles you will have to overcome to survive the journey.
Written as a child’s explorer guide and packed with scientific facts about the stuff beneath our feet, this book is guaranteed to inspire any young scientist.
