Geology in Art is the fi rst book to document the artistic phenomena in which geology brings its own aesthetic and

you on a journey through Geologic Art in a delightful and informative way.
Accompanied by beautiful reproductions, the book crosses centuries and genres, from Leonardo to Conan Doyle.

experience that informs, inspires and entertains art and geology enthusiasts alike.
