This book makes learn­ing about rocks just as much fun as col­lect­ing them. Read­ers encounter a breath­tak­ing ter­rain cov­er­ing min­er­al com­po­si­tion and iden­ti­fi­ca­tion, how we use min­er­als, and record-set­ting min­er­al finds. 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.”
