Strata: Stories From Deep Time

Strata by Laura Poppick is a fascinating look at the history of the Earth through the lens of geology. Poppick divides the book into four sections: Air, Ice, Mud, and Heat; each corresponding to an epoch on the planet after the rise of life. She then takes a deep dive into what rocks reveal about the events that occurred during that period. Her writing is accessible to the non-geologist and is perfect for anyone curious to learn about the world we live in.
