This is a wonderful book. I've read a few that cover some of the same ground (figuratively speaking), like Assembling California, and you can get some of the same insights there. A lot of explanation of the history of Geology, and the Plate Tectonic Revolution of the 1960s. He can combine the sublime and ridiculous in one sentence sometimes.
