Benjamin P. Prost (coauthor) has had an interest in geology since he tried to eat a sample of native sulfur in his parents' backyard. He was 3 years old, and the yellow crystals were appetizingly orthorhombic. The son of a geologist, he could identify pyrite, galena, gypsum, and several other minerals before he knew the alphabet. A bit later, he graduated from Occidental College with a degree in something other than geology (a decision he regrets). For the past 11 years, he has been a writer, editor, grammar maven, and style-guide aficionado in Los Angeles and New York. He currently writes and edits online children's books. He is valued for his ability to limn scientific topics in language that any first grader can understand-which is much harder than it sounds. He is routinely called upon by coworkers to explain the difference between weathering and erosion.
