As we wrap up the year, I'm sharing an achievement I'm particularly proud of—we published the second book in our Comparative Planetology series!
Planetary Tectonism deals with the stresses that shape planets and the landforms that develop.
It follows Planetary Volcanism, published in 2021.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides
