The author describes what readers may see in rocks with the naked eye; and for each specimen, he tells an evolutionary story anchored on familiar basic principles in biology, chemistry, physics, and geology; and he offers ways to connect dots. Rightly or wrongly, some narratives are original and thought-provoking. The author wishes to inspire readers to think and render opinions for themselves. The author, Tien C. Lee, is an Emeritus Professor of Geophysics\/Hydrogeology at the University of California, Riverside. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tien C Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1957943300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781957943305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rushmore Press LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.49d","brand":"Tien C Lee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057634898175,"sku":"9781957943305","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a21decab-7239-492b-a6d0-f1f105e0d54f.jpg?v=1685048074","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wandering-in-rock-country-tien-c-lee-9781957943305","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
