Earthshake: Poems from the Ground Up

Maybe that plain old rock has gleaming jewels inside.

Maybe Africa and South America used to be best friends.

Maybe a clam that died 300 million years ago is in your backyard.

What secrets is Earth hiding? These twenty-two poems leave no stone unturned in exploring the world's natural wonders.

Crack this book open and watch geology sparkle.
