[Chuck Barnes · Rating 5 out of 5]

As background I am a geologist and I've spent my life mostly in the academic world and in a much lesser way serving briefly as a consultant in the corporate world. A Sense of the Earth is the most moving, fascinating, wonderful poetic look at the Earth that I have ever read and I am an avid reader. A really rich experience and highly recommended.
