SUMMARY

Paleontologists and geologists read rocks as if they were stories in a book: each kind of rock forms in a specific environment; each represents a chapter in the geological history of a region. Albertans now live in the Holocene Epoch, the most recent chapter in the Quaternary Period. It is a chapter still being written. During this fragment of Earth's history, human time intersects with the long, slow pace of geological time, and Albertans' dependence on what has gone before becomes clear. Book jacket.The Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology Staff is the author of 'Reading the Rocks: A Biography of Ancient Alberta' with ISBN 9780889952881 and ISBN 0889952884.
