Product Information
How much do you know about the rocks beneath your feet--the basic materials of our planet? Their variety and beauty is astounding, especially when viewed through the microscope, where crystals of different minerals and in various arrangements are revealed in exquisite detail. While surface rocks seem so solid, they flow deep inside the earth, and, in this spectacular book, you'll see what rocks that have flowed actually look like. Eminent geologist Ron Vernon reveals the incredible beauty and variety of earth rocks, both under and on the surface. Through breathtaking photographs he captures rocks formed by heating and melting inside the earth, rocks ejected from volcanoes, rocks formed by erosion on the earth's surface, and extraterrestrial rocks that have crashed into our planet. These stunning images are accompanied by clear, nontechnical explanations of the processes underlying the creation of rocks and minerals. No other current book so cogently explains the nature and origin of rocks for nonscientists. Beneath Our Feet: The Rocks of Planet Earth is destined to be a must-have purchase for a wide-ranging audience from professional scientists to amateur rock collectors--indeed anyone interested in natural history.

Reviews
"This attractive book defies classification. It is pretty enough to be a "coffee table" book...but substantial enough...to deserve a place on public-library shelves as a splendid geology-for -nongeologists treatment." Science Books & Films, 'Excellent pictures and straightforward, informative text make Ron Vernon's Beneath our Feet almost a coffee-table book for the scientifically literature non-geologist - or anyone who's always curious.' David Oldroyd, Nature, "It is great addition for the book shelf of anyone with even a moderate or passing interest in rocks. It should however be essential for the bookshelves of every school library. Even those that just pretend to have an adequate coverage of science can't afford to miss out on this one." Science Education News (Science Teacher's Ass. of News), "The best natural history books blend science and art. Beneath Our Feet does just that...This is one of the most beautifully illustrated books that I have ever seen. It should be in every high school and public library." Journal of Geoscience Education., '... a richly illustrated introduction to the rocks and minerals of planet Earth for everyone interested in natural history ... well written and easy to understand ... a good resource book to add to any library and will be an excellent reference for students who are learning about Earth Materials on Earth Systems.' J. G. Liou, Episocles, '… a richly illustrated introduction to the rocks and minerals of planet Earth for everyone interested in natural history … well written and easy to understand … a good resource book to add to any library and will be an excellent reference for students who are learning about Earth Materials on Earth Systems.' J. G. Liou, Episocles, '… a book of beautiful pictures of rocks - one hundred and seventy of them. Rocks from a distance, rocks close up, rocks in hand specimen and rocks in thin section. Unquestioningly, Vernon's first objective, which is to dispel the myth 'seen one rock, seen 'em all', is admirably achieved, as most people will buy this book for the pictures.' Cherry Lewis, Geoscientist, "This book is a richly illustrated introduction to the rocks and minerals of planet Earth for everyone interested in natural history...This book is well written and easy to understand as it is intended for non-specialists; it will benefit any one from students to hobbyists who are interested in rocks and minerals...This book. Beneath our Feet, the Rocks of Planet Earth, will be a good resource book to add to any library and will be an excellent reference for students who are learning about Earth Materials or Earth Systems." Episodes, 'I found this book delightful ... easy to comprehend ... if you have ever been puzzled by what a thin section actually reveals, buy this book. That answer alone is worth it.' Amazon.com, 'I can't think of a better, more appealing introduction to geology than this book, which has a huge potential readership.' Preview (Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists), 'I can’t think of a better, more appealing introduction to geology than this book, which has a huge potential readership.’Preview (Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists), ' … beautifully illustrated … the pictures are incredible, guaranteed to make a rock lover out of anyone.' The Tampa Tribune, ' ... beautifully illustrated ... the pictures are incredible, guaranteed to make a rock lover out of anyone.' The Tampa Tribune, "This is just a wonderful book...This is not just another descriptive book about the solar system, but a book that explores the implications of that description...The book can be profitably read, I would think, by anyone from motivated high school students to professional scientist. It can most profitably be read by those who don't already understand the historial sciences." Graham Ryder Lunar and Planetary information Bulletin, 'Excellent pictures and straightforward, informative text make Ron Vernon’s Beneath our Feet almost a coffee-table book for the scientifically literature non-geologist - or anyone who’s always curious.’David Oldroyd, Nature, "...beautifully illustrated...The pictures are incredible, guaranteed to make a rock lover out of anyone." The Tampa (FL) Tribune, 'This is one of the most beautifully illustrated books that I have ever seen. It should be in every high school and public library.' Gretchen Luepke Bynum, Journal of Geoscience Education, "This is one of the most beautifully illustrated books that I have ever seen. It should be in every high school and public library." Journal of Geoscience Education, 'Here is a book to enjoy ... a series of magnificent photographs of rocks ... with an intelligent, interesting and scientifically correct text written for those who know little, or even no, geology. It is unreservedly recommended. It will make an excellent gift or personal indulgence at a reasonable price.' B. E. Leake, Mineralogical Society, '... a book of beautiful pictures of rocks - one hundred and seventy of them. Rocks from a distance, rocks close up, rocks in hand specimen and rocks in thin section. Unquestioningly, Vernon's first objective, which is to dispel the myth 'seen one rock, seen 'em all', is admirably achieved, as most people will buy this book for the pictures.' Cherry Lewis, Geoscientist, 'I found this book delightful … easy to comprehend … if you have ever been puzzled by what a thin section actually reveals, buy this book. That answer alone is worth it.' Amazon.com, "In a volume as rich in photographs as it is in lucent commentary, Vernon eschews technical terms as he conducts a brisk but solidly educational discussion of the earth's amazing dynamism...effectively illustrated with striking photographs of folded rock formations in Antarctica and Australia, images that are then compared to dazzling microscopic views of the structures of various rocks." Booklist, 'Here is a book to enjoy … a series of magnificent photographs of rocks … with an intelligent, interesting and scientifically correct text written for those who know little, or even no, geology. It is unreservedly recommended. It will make an excellent gift or personal indulgence at a reasonable price.' B. E. Leake, Mineralogical Society
