About this listen
From the secret fossils of London to the three-billion-year-old rocks of the Scottish Highlands, and from state-of-the-art Californian laboratories to one of the world's most dangerous volcanic complexes hidden beneath the green hills of western Naples, set out on an adventure to those parts of the world where the Earth's life-story is written into the landscape.
Helen Gordon turns a novelist's eye on the extraordinary scientists who are piecing together this planetary drama. She gets to grips with the theory that explains how it all works - plate tectonics, a breakthrough as significant in its way as evolution or quantum mechanics, but much younger than either, and still with many secrets to reveal. And she looks to the future of our world, with or without us.

interesting thought provoking book
Enjoyed listening, a good take from a non-technical, bit interested author, relateable to all people.
Narrator should however learn how to pronounce basic geological terms such as Granite, Gneiss, schist.. and time periods if attemting another similar work. Was definitely amusing.. 🙄

Couldn't finish it
Has billions of years' worth of material to draw on, yet struggles to get beyond uninteresting and unimportant details on the author's interactions with people she interviewed
When talking about discoveries made in recent centuries she focuses far too much on the personal lives of whoever made the discovery and not enough on the discovery itself.
Very disappointed in this book.
