The living origin of rocks and minerals
"An increasing number of enthusiasts are attracted by the rich variety of rocks and minerals around us, and new ways of looking at them. In this book, Walther Cloos views the Earth as a living organism, with different kingdoms of nature - mineral, plant and animal - as stages left behind as the earth developed. He argues that everything currently inert and static was once dynamic and living."--Back cover.
