Summary Employing fantastic micro photographic techniques, Greenberg invites readers into the strange and wonderful world that each grain of sand contains.
Using three-dimensional micro-photography, Greenberg invites you to discover the strange and wonderful world that each grain of sand contains. Examining the sands of Hawaii and Tahiti, the Sahara and the Poles-- even a volcano-- you'll see that each is exquisitely different, and each tells a fascinating geological story. Greenberg's pictures reveal the subtle differences in the colors, textures, sizes, and shapes of each grain of sand. -- adapted from back cover
