Over the weekend I finished reading the wonderful new book, The Secrets of Sand, by Kate Clover, et al. In addition to the best printed photos of sand I've ever seen, the written text is magnificent. Possibly because of my midwestern roots, I especially liked Ch. 4, "Rivers and Lakes." The text is sheer poetry!

We all of had sand in our shoes, dumped it out, and probably did not think much about it. Well, here is a book that takes a close look………a very close look at that ubiquitous material, sand. Well written and informative, I learned about the processes that make sand. For example, Florida sand is so uniform and white because it is composed of almost entirely of quartz. Almost all of the other less durable minerals have been weathered away…and that tough little fighter, quartz, remains. Moreover, those little grains of sand are what remains of the ancient Appalachian Mountains which once stood as tall as or taller than the current Himalayas. That is one story of many……a wonderful read.

Fascinating book with wonderful photography! Such miracles in the most unexpected and humble places. Who knew that the sand you dust off yourself at the beach could be so beautiful? 😄

The photos are pretty. Beyond that, there isn't really much going on here. Much of the sand pictured has biological origins, shells and tests from tiny marine organisms, which is pretty neat. But the authors didn't really bother to ID them except in the vaguest of ways.

Interesting read

This is very North American, mostly US centered. So, if you want more on sands from around the world, this is not it. Still, for sand collectors and those interested in geology of sediments it is good. Very heavy with pictures, so you could not read it at all and still enjoy the great pictures.

I gave this as a gift. However, I leafed through it before gifting it, and the friend who received it has raved about how interesting it is. Photos are fabulous.

Given to my geologist friend for Christmas. She spent hours reading and analyzing it
