Science Sunday!
I’ve been fascinated by rocks and rock hunting and geology since I was a young child.
I’m just not very good at it. So instead, I enjoy reading the works of others, like John McPhee.
Mr. McPhee talks with Eldridge Moores, a University of California geologist (and collaborator with Mr. McPhee on Assembling California) and reads from Annals of the Former World (affiliate link).
Bonus #1: “A Brief History of Colorado Through Time”. I used to collect those “Roadside Geology of…” books. I should at least go out and replace my copy of Roadside Geology of Texas (affiliate link). Perhaps I will be able to use it soon.
Bonus #2: “Flood Basalts of the Pacific Northwest”. Or, giant lava flows!
