Geological finds aren't usually made inches from sidewalks of a major city or along rural roadsides--but natural history writer David Williams sees these discoveries everywhere, and in STORIES IN STONE he offers a survey of everyday stone appearing in modern life. From brownstone and granite to slate and limestone, he travels across the country to offer important insights into geology and architectural choices alike in a fine general-interest pick for any library.
