Description:
|
Library's Rock is ADL's Summer Reading
theme and apparently so does life on
our planet. What is the secret link
between rocks and minerals, and every
living thing on Earth? Watch this
fascinating PBS NOVA special for some
new theories. NOVA joins mineralogist
Robert Hazen as he journeys around the
globe searching for answers.From an
ancient Moroccan market to the
Australian Outback, he advances a
startling and counter-intuitive idea—
that the rocks beneath our feet were
not only essential to jump-starting
life, but that microbial life helped
give birth to hundreds of minerals we
know and depend on today. It's a
theory of the co-evolution of Earth
and life that is reshaping the grand-
narrative of our planet’s story.
This is a free event.
Bring your lunch and coffee and
cookies will be provided.
