Geology & Earth Science

How on Earth? Answers to the Puzzles of Our Planet sets out to answer 73 puzzles in nature and the environment using an accessible, question-and-answer approach. Written by a Professor of Mineral Geochemistry at the University of the Witwatersrand, this volume presents evidence across multiple fields, including geology, mineralogy, astronomy, and atmospheric sciences. The text details both global and regional phenomena, explaining topics such as the formation of Table Mountain, the origin of South Africa's diamonds, and historical landscape changes in the Karoo. The book is structured so that individuals with little prior knowledge can easily understand the earth processes at work, and it is heavily illustrated throughout with explanatory diagrams, photographs, and graphs.

Savage Earth offers an investigation into the volatile tectonic forces that continuously reshape our planet. Published by HarperCollins, this large-format hardcover volume serves as the official companion to the highly successful television documentary series. The text masterfully demystifies complex earth sciences across four structured core components: the fundamentals of plate tectonics, the mechanics and historic devastation of major earthquakes, the explosive dynamics of volcanoes, and the cutting-edge predictive forecasting technologies utilized by modern engineers. Written by a veteran university geography lecturer, the work balances accessible science and clear geological diagrams with dramatic first-hand survivor accounts, historical narratives, and striking full-color photography of global natural disasters.
