Summary:

"What traces of our current civilisation will be left in the geological strata of the planet? What will become of the technological devices that so dominate our lives today in millennia to come? How will these objects be transformed as they travel through deep time? ... In Petrified Media, colourful microscope imagery is combined with the Atlas of Media Metallurgy, in which the images' elementary composition is analysed, and captions provide background information on the origin of these indispensable metals used in the production of modern technological devices. Three essays by Siobhan Angus (Assistant Professor of Media Studies), Jan Zalasiewicz (Emeritus Professor of Paleobiology), and Cornford himself, reflect on the subject from each writer's theoretical background." -- Publisher's website.
