This is not a geology textbook, but a fascinating story about our planet and the people who study it. 

Interesting facts, lively language, witty illustrations and experiments, which are easily carried out in the kitchen with a pot, a vacuum cleaner, an iron and a bunch of watercress.

Transformations of rocks and minerals, emergence of volcanoes, growth and disappearance of islands, the origins of coal and oil, the history of the Earth and even other planets.

How does dill help to learn the secrets of the earth’s bowels? Why is the Dead Sea so salty? Do you need to buy a lead umbrella? What do all these questions (and many more) have to do with geology?

Read and find out!
