From a Japanese earthquake in 1185 to erupting volcanoes, erosion, and even nuclear blasts, the pieces in Bedrock explain the forces that formed the Earth. Organized by theme, the pieces include the harrowing story of a plane flying through volcanic ash and one man's hilarious hike along the San Andreas Fault. The inclusion of a wide range of cultural traditions, time periods, and nationalities enrich these essays which popularize geology in the tradition of anthologies like The Best American Science Writing. Insightful, penetrating, and provocative, Bedrock combines science and literature to create a book with a broad-based appeal.
