This paperback of the Sunday Times bestseller reveals how the earth became the shape it is today.

"Geology underlies everything: it founds the landscape, dictates the agriculture, determines the character of villages". Fortey, senior paleontologist at the Natural History Museum in London, set out to explore those connections. "My solution has been to visit particular places, to explore their natural and human history in an intimate way, thence to move to the deeper motor of the earth - to show how the lie of the land responds to a deeper beat, a slow and fundamental pulse".
His stops as he takes the reader on a journey around the world include Mount Vesuvius, the Alps, Newfoundland, Los Angeles and the Deccan Traps in India. He is an eloquent guide.
