| Behind the Book |
|
| “When I was a kid, I loved collecting rocks at an old lead mine near my parents‘ house. I never found a fossil there, but I did find some many years later. Writing this book gave me a chance to delve deeper into the basics of earth science. Now I think about the geologic history of areas whenever I travel.” |
