The authors of this book describe in clear words and pictures, the behavior of rock and the building of mountains. They explain the principle of earth weighing, which can be done, after a fashion, with a spring scale. Simple things and gripping events all are related in this story of the forces that shake, yet preserve, our restless earth. .11 (#000096)
