brief_description
From the sacred stones of Stonehenge to the rose red city of Petra, from towering mountains to the smallest grains of sand, rocks have had a profound influence on human life. Anjana Khatwa has dedicated much of her life to geology. Here she tells us how rocks have been shaped over the eons - but also how they have shaped us. A revelatory approach to geology, illuminated with untold stories of humanity's relationship with rock. -- Trove
