The Restless Earth: Fossils serves as an excellent compliment to The Deep Time Diaries in the classroom. It is also part of a more extensive “Restless Earth series” commissioned by the Franklin Institute, published by Chelsea House (Infobase Publishing), and written by a variety of experts. Other titles include Earthquakes and Volcanoes, Layers of the Earth, Mountains and Valleys, Rivers, Lakes, and Oceans, and Rocks and Minerals. (See the publisher’s website at www.chelseahouse.com.)

The Restless Earth: Fossils was a finalist in the 2010 Colorado Author League Awards for YA non-fiction.
