Book Launch: Before the mountain had a name (Fiona Levings)
About
Join geologist Dr Barbara Frankel, author Dr Fiona Levings and publisher Lucinda Sharp of Forty Degrees South as we celebrate rocks, mountains and the launch of Fiona’s new picture book about kunanyi/Mt Wellington, 'Before the Mountain had a Name'.Take a journey through deep time, to a place long ago where the bones of kunanyi/Wellington were formed from the remains of a frozen sea. Not everything that is ancient is lost.
Dr Fiona Levings has created an extraordinary resource for children, parents and teachers – the 300 million-year-old story in the geology of kunanyi/Mt Wellington. On one level it can be read as a simple story. On another level the richly detailed illustrations, timelines of geological periods and the evolution of plants and animals provide a deeper understanding of our continent as it separated from Gondwana to become the land we know today.
This is a free event at The Hobart Bookshop on Thursday the 13th June at 5:30pm. Doors open at 5:15pm
