Journey into the remarkable life of Nicolas Steno, the 17th-century Danish scientist whose relentless pursuit of truth transformed our understanding of the natural world and ultimately led him to a profound Catholic faith. Equal parts biography and earth science primer, The Riddle of the Tongue-Stones weaves together the story of fossils, geological strata, and one man's awe-inspiring discovery that science and faith are not rivals but companions. Richly illustrated with field-guide sketches and supported by an extensive glossary of scientific terms, this Word on Fire title invites young readers to see creation through the eyes of a saint-in-the-making.
