captivating information

Such moments are rare these days when one takes a book in the hand and is completely captivated by it after reading the first few pages : this is what happened with Voices of the Rocks.

The author, a geologist and a professor, is one of this era's best academics. He articulates his vast knowledge, experience and research into our ancient past in an engaging and scholarly fashion.

In this book he brings us beyond the limits of our need to think and to find answers. He explains the numerous theories available and then tries to work them out so we can truly understand the reason of each venue. At every page we feel the exciting moment of truth and of discovery, but only to fall back on our feet to the reality.
This is a rollercoaster for the newcomer.

The book also serves as a travelogue since the reader follows Professor Schoch in his travels from the sandy deserts of Egypt to the bottom of the ocean in Japan. This book does not answer questions but makes us wonder. A definite must for all.
