By creating a dialogue between geological and literary representations, where the geological becomes metaphorical, while science turns mythological, these essays shaped by on-the-rock encounters with landforms, open up important experiential and pragmatic dimensions."--Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Invocation : going to granite : Valerie and I walk to the Granite Lakes -- Human bodies : I experience granite by walking upon it -- Granite intrudes : what is granite and how is it formed? -- Up and down : mountains walking : walking as an incomplete narrative -- Glacial polish : what makes these rocks shine? -- Signs of exfoliation and change : granite comes apart!
