Okay-- I admit that it took me a month and a half to get through this book. The beginning was very interesting. I even think I understood the English geography! But I'm afraid that it went down from there. I'm certainly not blaming the author-- he was writing this book for a group of people who did not expect pictures or intriguing stories! This is a good introduction to geology for those who can set themselves up to read it through! I want to read more geology books, although I might pick one a more recent publication date!
