Combining scientific information with an accessible writing style, Ellen Wohl, PhD, gives the readers an understanding of our planet's geologic and geographic changes, with descriptions of each representative location you will visit with her. For nonscientific readers like this reviewer, the experience will be an epiphany, and you will probably find yourself rereading individual sections to savor them more fully later.
