"Rocks and Their Origins" by Grenville A. J. Cole is an accessible science book that seeks to educate general readers, without prior expertise, about the world of geology with an explanation of Earth's composition and how this study relates to our observation and understanding of the natural world. The author examines an array of rocks like limestones, sandstones, and slates, explaining how they are created and their importance on our planet. Rather than simply classifying rocks, the book emphasizes the dynamic processes that form the Earth's varied landscapes and highlights the value of conducting field research to better understand rock formation.
