Along the way, he pokes gentle fun at the academic life in stories that will make anyone smile who's ever sat on a faculty committee or chaired a professional meeting. The final essays on his travels through Provence and Italy are rich with details of the beauty and the history - both human and geological - of the regions.
M.D. Picard is the author of numerous professional articles and books, and has served as president of the National Association of Geology Teachers, the Society of Sedimentary Geology, and the Rocky Mountain section of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. He is well known to the geological community for the essays and book reviews he has published over the last ten years in geoscience journals and magazines.

Review
Journal of Geological Education
` Professor Picard is a superb storyteller ... among geo-writers, as much fun to read as Stephen Jay Gould.'
Geotimes
` Picard is a geologist who writes truth like fiction. Picard writes wonderful tales about people and places and the geology that he has encountered along the way. His writings are filled with warmth and humour ... Anyone ... who is curious about the earth and the processes which formed it, or who simply like to read a well written, entertaining book, will appreciate them.'
