Nancy Campbell takes readers on an extraordinary journey through landscapes shaped by ice, stone, and the forces of deep time. From Arctic meteorites to ancient glaciers, she weaves together natural history, cultural mythology, and personal reflection to explore humanity's enduring fascination with rocks that fall from the sky and rise from the earth.

Blending lyrical prose with rigorous research, this meditation on geology and wonder spans continents and centuries. Campbell examines how different cultures have interpreted thunder, lightning, and celestial phenomena, revealing the stories we tell ourselves about our place in the natural world. It's a book that transforms the way one looks at the ground beneath their feet and the sky above, finding magic in the scientific and science in the mythical.
