Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: In a series of entertaining essays, geoscientist Jelle Zeilinga de Boer describes how early settlers discovered and exploited Connecticutâs natural resources. Their successes as well as failures form the very basis of the stateâs history: Chathamâs gold played a role in the acquisition of its Charter, and Middletownâs lead helped the colony gain its freedom during the Revolution. Fertile soils in the Central Valley fueled the stateâs development into an agricultural power house, and iron ores discovered in the western highlands helped trigger its manufacturing eminence. The Statue of Liberty, a quintessential symbol of America, rests on Connecticutâs Stony Creek granite. Geology not only shaped the stateâs physical landscape, but also provided an economic base and played a cultural role by inspiring folklore, paintings, and poems. Illuminated by 50 illustrations and 12 color plates, Stories in Stone describes the marvel of Connecticutâs geologic diversity and also recounts the impact of past climates, earthquakes, and meteorites on the lives of the people who made Connecticut their home.
