| Summary: | In a stunning blend of poetry, music, and science, this lyrical new work evokes the wonders of our living earth. As Pythagoras marveled over the "music of the spheres," geologist and writer Ron Morton gives us a whole new appreciation for the awe-inspiring forces that make and shape our planet Through the resonance of musical metaphor he attunes both our minds and our senses to the most important discoveries in geology and explores the beauty, power, and infinite variety of the land - and seascapes that compose our earth Morton reveals a dynamic system in which the prodigious forces of heat, pressure, molten rock, and water maintain a delicate and harmonious balance that has sustained life for millennia. Cracking, crumbling, colliding, and exploding, our earth is in a constant state of growth and renewal. Morton delves into territories at once fascinating and terrifying |
