Publisher's Summary
Whether Randy Van Schmus is out in the field with his students, or grinding rock in the university lab, he insists the flat plains of middle America are anything but dull. He tells the story of eons of violent upheaval that is written in the features lying far below the shimmering wheat fields. As he shares how scientists are unlocking the secrets of the earth's timetable, millions of years seem but brief moments.
John McPhee's enthusiasm and peerless writing style make the study of geology both accessible and entertaining. And Nelson Runger's thought-provoking performance ensures you will view the earth with fresh insight.
What the critics say
"McPhee's many fans won't be disappointed with the high-quality descriptive portraits of geologists, their work, and theories." (Publishers Weekly)
