Reviews
"Marcia Bjornerud knows her rocks, in all their interconnected glory to the entire biosphere, and she tells their stories with depth, clarity, and passion."-- Tyler Volk, author of Quarks to Culture, "[A]n admirably lucid account of the Earth's history as told via its geological record."-- The New Yorker, "The perfect field guide for a geologic field trip through the Earth's history." -- Jill S. Schneiderman, editor of Liberation Science, "We certainly need popular science books like Reading the Rocks to help science fight back... Bjornerud has a rare talent for explaining scientific ideas clearly with intriguing and helpful analogies, similes, and metaphors."-- Nature Magazine, "No one escapes the evidence of our Earth's history: arcane, violent, and relevant to all daily concerns. The language of the planet, superbly translated by Bjornerud, illuminates our common past and uncertain future. The four-billion-year-long animated conversation between rocks, water, and life continues." -- Lynn Margulis, author of Symbiotic Planet

Synopsis
From the author of Turning to Stone , a mediation on the stories that rock can tell us about the deep history of our planet To many of us, the Earth's crust is a relic of ancient, unknowable history. But to a geologist, the Earth's crust, and every stone within it, is a richly illustrated narrative, telling gothic tales of cataclysm and reincarnation. How can we decode these stories? In Reading the Rocks , geologist Marcia Bjornerud shows us. Taking the reader on an eye-opening tour of Deep Time, Bjornerud explains in elegant prose what we see and feel beneath our feet. Both scientist and storyteller, she reminds us that our home is a living thing with lessons to teach. She shows how our planet has long maintained a delicate balance between creation and destruction, and how the global give-and-take has sustained life on Earth through eons of upheaval. Today, however, with the rapidly escalating effects of human beings on the planet, that great balance is being threatened--and the consequences may be catastrophic. Reading the Rocks reveals how heeding the messages in rocks can help us correct our course., 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., To many of us, the Earth's crust is a relic of ancient, unknowable history.
