“There is no vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end.”

If the famous statement that helped formulate the science of geology can apply to lives, it surely fits in the case of Robert J. Carson – whose lifelong calling as a geologist is inextricably tied to his love of nature, the outdoors, and all of the Earth. As he tells in this memoir, it was a love kindled from his earliest childhood and has led him to a life of adventures in the farthest corners of the globe. From mountain climbing to whitewater rafting, exploring canyons and caverns to merely hiking amid natural beauty, he shares in his personal story a zest and appreciation for all of the natural world ... in a way that shows no prospect of an end.
