Primal Forces
Photography by David Muench and Marc Muench,
This book takes the reader through the Earth's primal forces: earth, air, fire, and water. Each essay mixes science and mythology to bring to life the physical forces that shape our planet. While each essay begins with a myth from a different culture, the bulk on the essays focuses on the current scientific understanding of our 4.6 billion year old planet, from plate tectonics to glaciation and climate change.
From the earthquakes of California, to the hurricanes of the Atlantic, the volcanoes of Iceland, and the vast ice sheets of Antarctica, the text and photography meld together to reveal an ever-changing planet that can never be described as stagnant or inert. This is a breath-taking book that serves as a celebration of nature's power and beauty.
