What reading level is This Island Earth book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In another Apollo picture, the wholly manmade line between two States, New Mexico and Texas, is likewise as distinct as if some- one had pasted two separate pictures together there. On the opposite side of the globe, too, one sees how the look of virtually identical terrain changes with the varied uses men make of it: The land of Israel has a different hue than the desert in the United Arab Republic. Many boundaries be- tween states and nations are indistinguishable from space, but wherever the...y follow rivers they can be traced, and changes in the riverbeds can be noted in vertical pictures taken from above a clear sky.
The professional geographers' goal has long been to produce "an accurate, orderly, and rational inter- pretation of the variable character of the Earth's surface. " Space photography already has revealed many errors in their best maps and surveys; some mountains and some islands are not quite where they were supposed to be until they were photo- graphed simultaneously with other landmarks.
