The Written in Stone television series was commissioned by GSI and aired on RTE in 1995 and again in 2006. The DVD was produced as part of GSI's celebration of 150 years in existence. The DVD describes the geology of Ireland, beautifully illustrated and explained by one of Ireland's most renowned experts and greatest communicators in earth science, Dr.Pádhraig Kennan. For most people, the earliest forms of civilisation are the first pages of history. From the geological perspective, they are the last . "Written in Stone" traces the 4,500 million years of geological history of this planet, and recounts those events with particular reference to Ireland - the very rocks that make up the spectacular Irish Landscape.
