This book makes learn­ing about min­er­als just as much fun as col­lect­ing them. Read­ers encounter a breath­tak­ing ter­rain cov­er­ing rock types and iden­ti­fi­ca­tion, rock and fos­sil for­ma­tion, plate tec­ton­ics, the rock cycle, and much more. Thanks to dynam­ic descrip­tions, dia­grams, and pho­tos, the reader’s nat­ur­al curios­i­ty is firm­ly ground­ed in rock-sol­id information.

Behind the Book

“When I was a kid, I loved col­lect­ing rocks at an old lead mine near my par­ents’ house. In third grade, I entered my rock col­lec­tion in the school sci­ence fair and won sec­ond prize. So when my edi­tor asked me to write this book, I was thrilled. It 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.”
