The Planet in a Pebble: A journey into Earth's deep history - Oxford Landmark Science
Zalasiewicz, Jan (Professor of Palaeobiology, University of Leicester)
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 extraordinary story.
