Science: David B. Williams: The Hidden Stories of Stone

Town Hall Seattle
Seattle, WA

When most of us pass through the Concourse A food court at Sea-Tac Airport, we're likely to notice coffee cups, bagel crumbs, and frenzied fliers trying to retie their shoes outside the security checkpoint. Seattle freelance writer David B. Williams sees beyond all that: He sees Jurassic-era fossils in the concourses limestone walls. In fact, Williams says every stone structure has a geological story that goes back to Earth's creation. And it's his job, and his pleasure, to unlock them. His 20-year passion has grown into a new book, Stories in Stone, which weaves together natural and cultural history to connect people and geology through building stone. Presented as part of Seattle Science Lectures, with Pacific Science Center and University Book Store
