Michel Marthaler, geologist and honorary professor at the University of Lausanne, is an avid connoisseur of the mountains. The discovery of fossil plankton in the Valais Alps during his doctoral research led him to subsequently study the entire Alpine arc. His books and field lectures have greatly contributed to popularising geology.

Résumé
Once upon a time, long, long ago, the Earth comprised one huge continent, Pangea, that was washed by a single vast ocean. The first dinosaurs walked in that distant morning, 250 million years ago, and it was then that the geological history of the Alps can be said to have begun. This book invites any reader curious about our planet to embark on an immense journey through time and space. The planet's saga is recorded in its own prodigious memory, inscribed in its very rocks and landscapes.
The mountains of the world - which once were deserts, savannahs, tropical rain forests, sea shores or ocean depths - are the offspring of the vast, slow drifting oceans and continents.
