Timefulness: A Geologist's Story
"Geologist Marcia Bjornerud's latest book, Timefulness: How Thinking Like a
Geologist Can Help Save the World, can easily capture your inner philosopher,
scientist, activist, and writer. When I received this book from Princeton
University Press, I was immediately intrigued by the books cover. Ive always
been fascinated by ideas that necessarily mix up life's ingredients into
creative nature stories, and this book does just that. The choice of title and
cover design (with its elegant series of mineralogy lithographs) offers clues to
the layered Earth-story within: unwrapping the scientific ways of knowing our
homes deep planetary history; how we humans have come to discover these stories;
how knowing them can re-educate us and thus drive us to become better citizens
as part of the whole community of life."
