Normally I don’t write much about myself but I have a reason to right now. The advanced reader’s copy of my book, Stories in Stone: Travels Through Urban Geology, arrived yesterday. Stories in Stone weaves together natural and cultural history to explore the untold life of building stone. Each chapter focuses on a particular type of rock and describes my search to learn more about the stone, the particular building or building style that exemplifies its use, and the people involved in construction. Along the way I interviewed geologists, explored quarries, and consulted with preservationists and historians in order to give readers greater insight into these structures and stone they are made from.

congratulation
Bravo, David! Looking forward to reading this. Is there a list of topics or areas that you covered?
I’ve added this book to my wish list – it looks like it could make a great gift for a few people I know (besides me).
Thanks all. If you go to my web site and click on the Stone page you can get details about the chapters.
