| Publisher Description: 1923. Talks about Mountains and Rivers, Volcanoes, Earthquakes and Geysers and Other Things. J.H. Fabre, as some few people know, is the author of half a score of well-filled volumes in which he has set down the results of fifty years of observations, study and experiment. Under Fabre's magic touch the commonplace phenomena of daily life take on new meaning, and the beauty of science lies unlocked to the observer. This book gives a general account of the earth on which we live. It takes the dryness out of geography, and makes volcanoes, glaciers, seas, earthquakes and a thousand other tremendous things as interesting as they are important.
