This booklet was written to accompany the motion picture film, The Petrified River, which was produced co-operatively by Union Carbide Corporation and the Bureau of Mines, United States Department of the Interior.

Like the film, the booklet tells how uranium was deposited far back in geologic time; about the search for this precious metal on the Colorado Plateau, and how it is mined and milled; and about some ways that the atom's energy is being put to work for the benefit of mankind.
