Description
Turning to Stone: Discovering the Subtle Wisdom of Rocks
Rocks are the record of our creative planet, constantly reinventing itself over four billion years. Nothing is ever lost, just transformed. Marcia Bjornerud's life as a geologist has coincided with an extraordinary period of discovery, taking her to remote parts of the world to study mountains and witnessing a shift in our understanding of the Earth.
The lives of rocks are long and complex, spanning billions of years and shaping our own human lives in powerful, invisible ways. From the formation of sandstone that filters out pathogens to create underground oases, to the unique properties of ecologite that keep the planet running, rocks hold a profound wisdom that can remind us of our place in the world.
