mining works and machines should have straight edges and stand out in sharp contrast to the natural world around it A wee bit disappointing, and I'm not sure what it is precisely. Light on content (pictures are more central than the text), and the illustrations... I just gave another of Yuval Zommer's books, The Big Book of Blooms, 5 stars, but this... it's almost as if his style was not the right one for the subject here (though simply lovely for plants and flowers and living things). A fantastically detailed resource. However, quite expensive considering the additional resources aren't included. what about WWII bomb shelters? Typical highrise building foundations - how far to they typically go? Car parks? As low as the subway, or lower?Ik heb ook zeker een nieuwe illustrator ontdekt nu een van mijn bibliotheken zijn boeken blijft toevoegen. Namelijk Yuval Zommer. Ik had, tot dit jaar, nooit van hem gehoord, maar nu wil ik al zijn boeken. Hij kan echt prachtig tekenen. Hij heeft een heerlijke en leuke stijl. It begins with some great questions encouraging the reader to ignore the busyness and distractions of above ground and to ponder on what is happening below ground. Then comes an invitation to “take a peek” and our journey to the centre of the earth – continuing through the earth’s core, popping out on the other side – has begun. Mixing urban and rural settings, covering subjects such as geology, archaeology, and natural history, The Street Beneath My Feet offers children the opportunity to explore their world through a detailed learning experience. And its foldout, laperello (or concertina) style, which extends to eight feet in length, is ideal for spreading out on the floor to pore over for hours. A foldout, concertina format creates a visceral sense of a journey to the center of the Earth....Zommer’s illustrations are a hive of subterranean activity, and Guillain’s captionlike bursts enthuse about everything readers are seeing."— Publishers Weekly Een mooi, prachtig uitklapbaar boek wat je op een heerlijke reis meeneemt door de aarde, op naar de kern van onze planeet, en dan weer terug.

Takes readers on a journey to the centre of the earth, layer by layer, it's imaginatively conceived for budding geologists aged six and above' * New Statesman * A) This book is about the underground like the sewer, electricity cables, living things, water pipes, etc. Under the umbrella of things beneath your feet, there are multiple parts. Throughout the book, it goes into detail a few main parts of things below the ground that effects the above ground world. Ik weet niet zeker of het boek het lang zal uithouden in een bibliotheek, gegeven de lepollo en ook vanwege het stuk wat om het boek heen zit om alles bij elkaar te houden. Kinderen kunnen toch nog best hard zijn voor spullen (hoe vaak ik niet (half) vermoorde boeken zie in de bibliotheek). Dus ik ben blij dat ik hem nog helemaal nieuw uit de bibliotheek heb kunnen lezen voordat de destructie begon. Look, I know it's a kid's book, but what I like to see in children's non-fiction is enough accuracy and realism to lead to probing questions or to at least foster some curiosity. When it's all sort of slapped down casually (splat! Archaeology! Splat! Fossils!) without much care, then it's much less interesting - there's no rhyme or reason or deeper story or narrative there to look into. It's 'just a kid's book', and that pandering, my friends, is precisely what I hated as a kid.
