pickSometimes you wonder: if you‘d read a certain book earlier/at a certain point in your life, would it have sent you on an entirely different path (career, relationship, country of residence)? If I‘d read this book in college, I‘d have switched majors and become a geologist. Its an astounding five-volume exploration, along US I-80, of the geological forces that have formed (and are forming) our planet. The best natural science book I‘ve come across.
The latest book binge from a bookstore we came across while on a road trip to San Luis Obispo. Nothing is more satisfying than loading up the car trunk with new reads!
pickWonderful geological tour of the U.S., with some astouding tales of California's unsteady ground.
Another book that I've had for years but haven't read because I want to be able to dedicate all my attention to it. Get lost in it. That just isn't possible with two little ones. 😄 I love the way John McPhee writes. So I'll just keep dusting it off and hope that one day I'll be able to get to it. #booksaboutnature #readjanuary @RealLifeReading
