Inspirasjon og fakta

Jordkloden med sine fjell, sletter og havbassenger har alltid vært under endring, drevet av kontinentbevegelser, vulkaner og istider. Men i dag er det menneskets aktiviteter som bidrar mest til endringene på jordoverflaten. Spor i stein gir et sveip over jordklodens dannelse, oppbygging og de geologiske prosessene. Mennesket har lært å utnytte de geologiske ressursene til råvarer, matproduksjon og energi. I utgangspunktet til glede for menneskeheten, men etter hvert også til stor skade for vårt bomiljø. Hvor mye natur må vi ofre for å gi flest mulig et verdig liv? Denne boka legger fram de faglige premissene som er en forutsetning for å kunne treffe kloke beslutninger om vår og våre barns fremtid.
