To many of us, the Earth’s crust is a relic of ancient, unknowable history. But to a geologist, stones are richly illustrated narratives, telling gothic tales of cataclysm and reincarnation. For more than four billion years, in beach sand, granite, and garnet schists, the planet has kept a rich and idiosyncratic journal of its past. Fulbright Scholar Marcia Bjornerud takes the reader along on an eye-opening tour of Deep Time, explaining in elegant prose what we see and feel beneath our feet. Both scientist and storyteller, Bjornerud uses anecdotes and metaphors to remind us that our home is a living thing with lessons to teach. Containing a glossary and detailed timescale, as well as vivid descriptions and historic accounts, Reading the Rocks is literally a history of the world, for all friends of the Earth.

A celebration of the unique coastline of the Great Ocean Road and the deep time that has shaped it. Written in Stone takes the reader from the ochre cliffs of Torquay where 25 million year old fossils can be found, past the tip of Cape Otway where Gondwanan rivers have preserved dinosaur bones and on towards the Twelve Apostles. Each location has been mapped, photographed, sketched and offered to the reader with the eye of a geologist and an artist. Through following the iconic Great Ocean Road Written in Stone shows us how to look closer and see things that we may otherwise pass by. It reveals how the colours, lines, textures and patterns we find in rocks are all here as a result of time and process acting on and shaping the landscape. This book captures the curiosity and beauty of small moments. Of objects found on walks, collected and treasured. Philomena shows us that each small piece is a puzzle to the wider workings of geology and how it shapes our lives.

Rocks are time machines and the keepers of our history. This guide is a geological field trip through Earth’s incredible rock formations and the stories they hold Like rings on a tree stump hold the history of the tree, the history of Earth is written in its rocks. How to Read a Rock: Our Planet’s Hidden Stories teaches readers to decipher the rocks all around us, from backyard stones to mountain ranges, and trace Earth's history layer by layer. Spanning from prehistoric Earth’s shifting continents, to contemporary human impact, to the future surfaces of space exploration, the book reviews a remarkable array of topics, including: diamond volcanoes ancient coastlines, rivers, deserts, and coral reefs how animals have changed rocks making of mud urban rock strata human-made rocks and minerals current limestone rock crisis technofossils (the footprints humans will leave behind through their material goods) How to Read a Rock's brilliant imagery captures the power, majesty, and history of the planet. Rocks carry the memories of dinosaur landscapes and vanished oceans; show evidence of the greening of the planet and the effect of natural forces; and convey clues on climate and energy consumption. The book unearths the most fascinating stories rocks can tell us, not only about our past, but how the past can help imagine the future.
