Rocks Are Not Hard Stuff

Geology became mainstream when John McPhee began writing about rocks. His Pulitzer prize winning book Annals of the Former World is an easy read for anyone even remotely interested in America, rocks, geology, or interesting people. It is all in there and it is beautifully written. He is one of my favorite writers. If you want to learn more about rocks, without studying, read this book. A trip across America anyone can take.
