Overview

This book reminds the youthful, in mind or body, what an incredible planet we inhabit. The author' s personal experiences teaching and conducting geologic research around the world allow him to address several interesting aspects of the history of the Earth and life upon it. The author also reminds the reader that we should not only fully savor our home planet but also do what we can to pass it on to our children and grandchildren in a habitable state. Through the recounting of twelve geologic tales, the author, a micropaleontologist, aims to capture the child in us all and encourages the reader to wonder at several beautiful and strange places on planet Earth that most of us do not get an opportunity to visit.
