My geology professor did a great job of helping us understand our responsibility to our planet. Having the ability to know science and connect with the earth, in ways that compel a person to take action to preserve our earthly environment is optimal. To support his claim, Logan traced the heavy elements that make up soil, which had to come from stars more ancient than our sun.īut then the book took a turn toward spiritualism.

He reminded the reader that dirt is older than humans, older than the very earth upon which it sits, and eve older than our vast galaxy. For example, Logan reminded me of an awesome geology professor I had who would yell at us with great sincerity to, "Never disrespect dirt!" Logan began his book in the most incredible chapter, designed to help the reader place themselves in the universe, in the world, looking at existence through a very wide lens. This book started out extremely strong, which gave me such high hopes.
