  • Roadside Geology -- this is an excellent series, combining general geologic information with detailed road trips (sometimes in your home city), that describe a state's geology. If your state isn't listed below, click on one of the books anyway, and it will lead you to the rest of the series.   The books offer general geological information that you can read at home, but are most useful for the detailed descriptions and tours they describe for your state.

    Annals of the Former World     John McPhee describes geology in lucid terms, and makes the topic come alive.  This book is structured as a journey across the US at the 40th parallel, describing the geology as he travels, but it becomes much more than just a bare scientific description.  McPhee is one of our best writers. I've read many of McPhee's articles in the New Yorker that form the basis of this book, and they're excellent.

    Oddly, the only books that envision the power of tectonic events are the Mars Trilogy of Kim Stanley Robinson
