[edit] BENEATH OUR FEET

Photographs and non-technical text reveal the beauty of rocks for everyone interested in natural history.

In Beneath Our Feet: The Rocks of Planet Earth Ron Vernon reveals the astounding variety and beauty of the rocks and minerals all around us. Especially when viewed through the microscope, rocks show in exquisite detail their make-up from crystals of different minerals. Many stunning images show rocks from deep within Earth, rocks created and altered by heating and melting, rocks ejected from volcanoes, rocks shaped by erosion at Earth's surface, and extraterrestrial rocks that have crashed into Earth. The spectacular photographs are accompanied by clear and non-technical explanations of the main processes responsible for creating rocks and minerals. This book is for everyone interested in natural history, especially those who visit museums and national parks. The book can also be used as an introductory textbook for school students, and for non-science major undergraduate students. Earth scientists will also be thrilled by this stunning collection of images.
