ParkinI am so glad that I chose to "Look Inside" this wonderful book that Dr.Greenberg has presented to the world! Just a few pages and I was busy buying TWO copies ...One for my friend and One for me. We could not believe that that was what sand really looked like!"I volunteer as a "Greeter" a couple of hours each week at our local "Maritime Museum" and took my "Treasure" withme yesterday and showed it to one and all that came by to see our local "Treasures". We showcase "BlackbeardsTreasures" that have been found after 300 years and the skeleton of a Sperm Whale that went aground some 10 orso years ago and his skeleton hangs from the ceiling. Which took many years of waiting for nature to take care of theremains and then the final cleaning and putting the bones back together and hanging him from the ceiling.This book merits a "Gold Medal" if there are such rewards.
