Canada Rocks is the fascinating story of how the Canadian
landmass evolved – piece by piece – from a long-lost continent some
four billion years ago into on the most spectacular and geologically
significant areas on Earth. For anyone curious about the geological history of
our country, this book is a marvelous portrait of what the authors describe as
the incredible 'construction project' that gave shape to the continents,
mountains, and oceans of planet Earth, and created the world’s second
largest country – Canada.
Canada Rocks is the first book to
present the entire sweep of Canadian geology to the general reader. It is
profusely illustrated throughout with full-colour and black and white
photographs, charts, maps, graphs and sketches. It also includes contemporary
and classic Canadian art that captures the country’s extraordinary
geological features and terrain. The book explores the country from north to
south, and from east to west, exploring that incredible history through modern
day sites and land shapes created in our distant past.
