Novelists, poets, artists, anthropologists, traditional elders,
philosophers, and naturalists come together to create a geological
portrait of the Earth — from the violence of earthquakes and erupting
volcanoes to epochal patterns in stone and the sinuous flow of
rivers. With insights from many cultures and across time, Bedrock
wonderfully illuminates the geology of our home planet.The book is
organized into sections that deal with rock and stone; deep time;
earthquakes and faults; volcanoes and eruptions; rivers to the sea;
mountains and high¬lands; wind and desert; the flow of ice; and the
life of the Earth. Insightful, penetrating, and provocative, the
works are written from many positions — traditional and indigenous as
well as Western scientific. Bedrock bridges specialized science and
ordinary existence, providing a fascinating portrait of the forces
that have shaped the Earth and giving readers a sense of the geologic
experience encompassing their lives.
