THE EARTH ~ An Intimate History by Richard Fortey Folio Society edition BRAND NEW - still wrapped in cellophane [see pic] New introduction by the author. Quarter-bound in cloth. Set in Minion. 432 pages. 116 colour illustrations. Book size: 10¼" x 7½" In his ‘intimate history’, Richard Fortey unlocks the geological secrets of the earth – its origin and the constant processes that destroy and create it. His aim is to unite the natural and human history of particular places with the geological realities that underlie them. He chooses key locations that reveal the deep workings of our planet, and explores how these places have formed history itself. Visiting each one, Fortey is a unique guide, sharing his learned, but delightfully individual response to geology, culture and landscape, from Newfoundland to Hawai‘i. sorry, but due to high postage costs can only send to UK and Europe :( !
