Commoner Smith's efforts launched geology, explained how fossils reveal the age of ancient rocks.
There are so many parallel stories described in that book: the struggle of the main figure, William Smith, the class structure of the early 1800's, their debtor's prisons, the country's growth and quest for more coal, the condition of the roads in northern England, and more. By contrast a history book would contain just a list of facts without the glue that made everything feel so real. I bought 3 copies of the book and lent them to friends.

Clear, concise text with great examples and illustrations.
1 of 1 found this helpful Clear but concise text is heavily augmented by _many_ examples. I have had this book on kindle for over a year and really wanted to share the material with friends.
And, having it in paper lets me lend it briefly to a student or friend. I even have the ability, with the kindle version, to discuss parts of the book with friends who have borrowed the paper version.
Helped me pass Calif exam for high school teachers
