Are there emeralds on the Emerald Isle? 648 Billion Sunrises is a general introduction to the geological wonders of Ireland written in a fun, informative and accessibly humorous way. The author uses famous geological cases, biographical sketches, historical contexts, his own experience as a practising geologist, and brand new research done especially for this book to provide insight into this popular field.
