DEVIL delivers challenging reading except for the geologically or scientifically astute.

Still - answering: Why Mountains Exist? Why are Mountains so High? What Created the Andes?
and so many more rocky questions, is an enlightening and lengthy tale of life in Bolivia.

Readers learn about the Bolivian miner's devil, Tio, as well as many many Unconformities!
Lovingly narrated and articulated with great care; however time did not permit a full reading, browsed.
Afternote: read in full years later, it is excellent and fascinating.
