The geological processes that underlie all life on Earth can seem intimidatingly vast, ancient, and sometimes even alien.
Our planet’s dynamics have fascinated humans for millennia, yet only recently have we developed a clear picture of how they work.
This book presents the discoveries and critical scientific advances that inform our understanding of Earth’s origins and the forces driving geological change.
Each chapter tells a key piece of the story, focusing on a major aspect of geology that shapes how we experience our world.
