Well, sure, but that one isn't about rocks, unless you want to regard metallic uranium as a rock. The one I was thinking of was :Annals of the Former World:, which combines :Basin and Range:, :In Suspect Terrain:, :Rising From the Plains:, :Assembling California:, and :Crossing the Craton: into a single volume. It is not entirely about rocks -- stories about people keep intruding -- but it's significantly about rocks and it won a Pulitzer, so several someones must have thought it was interesting. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
