Excellent children's book with a collection of short stories and delightful panels that will entertain and take hold of anyone. The antics our kitten gets into results in tons of fun with some lessons to learn along the way. This would be a great read for any child wanting something beyond the typical picture book.

A good update for a fifty year geologist

Format: Hardcover

I wanted an update on plate tectonics as I was a geologist for 50 years and it was a theory back when I was in school particularly on mountain building I have been impressed so far I am about half way through the book and the book does a fine job of laying a solid foundation of physics and geochemistry that are the basics for the remainder of the book

An excellent introduction to plate tectonics

Format: Kindle

My rating is 4.5 stars. I dinged the book because I wanted more about geobiological evidence for and against plate tectonics, and because it didn't mention other global tectonics, such as single-lid tectonics. Read Robert Stern's article in the May 2025 issue of the GSA bulletin.
