A Journey Through the Elements is an entertaining account of one man?s journey through life as a geologist. Part ?Boys? Own Adventure?, part ?Ode to Nature?, the narrative travels from Australia to California, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and beyond as it brings to life with humour, history, science and personal anecdotes a dynamic and inspiring world that most people cherish but few have encountered quite so vividly. ?A Journey through the Elements presents an ?insider?s? view of the world around us that will resonate strongly with anyone interested in natural history. As the readers are transported into tropical rainforests and arid deserts, or across mountain ranges and sweeping plains, they encounter the Elements ? Earth, Air, Fire and Water ? in a way that brings the natural world to life in an intense and personal way.? ? Prof Ross Large AO
