Books in One Million Things series

A photographic feast serves up imagery and information about all things planet Earth: from its place in the solar system, to what it's made of, to what grows in it and on it, to what hovers above it. Following on the incredible success of One Million Things: A Visual Dictionary, this spectacular book features dynamic photographic spreads that beautifully showcase the rocks, minerals, streams, oceans, layers, clouds, ancient sediments, and brand-new islands that make up our planet. There are millions of things to learn about Planet Earth!

One Million Things: Ancient History is a spectacular show and tell experience. Observe the night sky to learn about Mayan gods and beliefs, or barter for exotic spices and perfumes in the trade that built Arabian cities. See the first Chinese Emperor's terra cotta army returned to its multicolored splendor, or read a travel guide to the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations to see which ancient Mediterranean destination is best for you.
