Nature tells stories that unfold over time, and the evidence is all around us--in the shape of a rugged coastline, in the growth of a tree's rings, in the beautiful banded strata of an ice cave. The latest book from The Exploratorium, San Francisco's acclaimed hands-on science museum, combines William Neill's award-winning photography with accessible scientific observation to illuminate an ever-changing world. Examining nature in segments of time ranging from a fraction of a second to millions of years, from the bloom of a plant to the carving of a canyon, 'Traces of Time' reveals how to measure the forces of nature and the ways they affect our planet. A powerful portrait of the natural beauty of our world, this gorgeous blending of art, science, and photography offers a new perspective to anyone who has ever gazed at the world in wonder. The latest book from The Exploratorium, San Francisco's acclaimed hands-on science museum, combines Neill's award-winning photography with accessible scientific observation to illuminate the beauty of an ever-changing world. 100 color photos. BEAUTIFUL COPY!!! Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.…
