In order to implement the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Popularization of Science and Technology " and the "Outline of the National Scheme for Scientific Literacy", to further promote the scientific spirit and to improve the scientific culture literacy of the citizens, the Yifu Museum of China University of Geosciences plans to write "Let Stone Speak" popular science books.
One book in this series, the " Slumbering Fossils", has been published. This book uses easy-to-understand and interesting language and beautiful pictures to tell the stories of more than 70 precious fossil specimens which are selected from Yifu Museum. The book aims to introduce the living environment and life style of the ancient lives, the mystery of biological evolution, and the importance of biodiversity to the public, thus stimulating the public awareness on biodiversity conservation and the protection of the Earth's environment.
