The "Restless Planet" series aims to introduce children to some of the most dramatic physical forces that change the world and the processes that cause them. Photographs illustrate accounts of natural disasters, the victims and their rescuers while eyewitnesses talk about their experiences. Each book describes the latest technology for predicting natural disasters, minimizing their destructive effects, and the management strategies for dealing with disasters. The books offer further research/activity suggestions to help bring earth sciences into the context of children's own lives: how to find information on the web, keep records, etc. They contain a range of text including the use of labelled diagrams, quotes, newspaper reports, maps and a glossary. The series also provides direct Key Stage 3 curriculum relevance.
