The Earth: An Intimate History: The faces of the Earth, criss-crossed by chains of mountains like the scars of old wounds, has changed and changed again over billions of years, and the testament of the remote past is all around. In this book Richard Fortey teaches us how to read its character, laying out the dominions of the world before us. He shows everything-human culture, natural history, even the shape of cities-roots back to a deeper geological truth. Far from being the driest of the sciences, he proves that geology informs all our lives in the most intimate way.
