The planet in a pebble : a journey into Earth's deep history

Zalasiewicz, Jan2010
Books, Manuscripts
In this narrative of the Earth's long and dramatic history, Jan Zalasiewicz shows how many events in the Earth's ancient past can be deciphered from a single pebble. He explores how geologists reach deep into the past by forensic analysis of even the tiniest amounts of mineral matter, demonstrating and revealing Earth's story.
