This book tells the story of a life-changing journey taken by L Sue
Baugh and her colleague, Lynn Martinelli, to document some of the
oldest rock and minerals in the world. They travelled to remote
regions in Western Australia, Greenland, Northwest Canada, and the
Grand Canyon, and eventually journeyed into territory not marked on
any map. The book reveals the extraordinary story they found in the
breathtaking beauty and transforming power of these ancient sites.
Not only did the two women reawaken their own artistic lives, they
also discovered that our human origins lie hidden in the secrets of
the oldest stones. We carry ancient minerals deep within our bones
and ancient life within our human cells. We are all echoes of
Earth. The book's innovative design includes foldouts, half pages,
and cut-outs that shift the reader's perspective in surprising and
profound ways. The Timelines of Earth, with illustrations by the
author, reveal how ancient stone and ancient life built and still
sustain this world we inhabit. Echoes of Earth invites you to
explore some of the world's most ancient places and to discover for
yourself our deep, intimate connection to Earth.
