We all live on the crust of our planet, a layer as thin as the shell of an egg – so what’s below you? Perhaps the fossilised bones of a velociraptor that died exactly where your sofa is now? Or an Anglo-Saxon burial ship, weighted with gold treasure? Or a deep limestone cave, home to scuttling eyeless creatures that were once thought to be dragons? Or a maze of underground tunnels where people are watching a movie or dancing to loud music you can’t even hear? Get digging.

This is an extraordinary resource for earth science or social sciences lessons covering any number of diverse subjects, from paleontology to archaeology, from mythology to ancient civilizations and from engineering to agriculture. The format is conducive to browsing, with every topic covered on a two-page spread. The text by Jane Price is easy to read and accessible, and engaging illustrations by James Gulliver Hancock, along with many photographs, help to visualize the sometimes-complicated concepts. Boxes, fun facts and funny captions keep things lively and entertaining. A generous index helps with navigation.
