Timefulness How Thinking Like a Geologist Can Help Save the World

A fine book centered on Geology. It provides a long look at deep time, the basics and history of Geology, the story of the Earth written in rocks, and Geology's relationship to and significance for human society.
Bjornerud is a very good writer. In this book she brings Geology to life and makes its significance clear. Not dry science, but a loving look at the most basic of Earth sciences. It is not dumbed down but is still accessible to the intelligent and interested non-specialist.
Highly recommended.
