A rich & exuberant group biography of the first geologists, the people who were first to excavate from the layers of the world its buried history. These first geologists were made up primarily, & inevitably, of gentlemen with the necessary wealth to support their interests, yet boosting their numbers, expanding their learning & increasing their findings were clergymen, academics
- & women. This lively & eclectic collection of characters brought passion, eccentricity & towering intellect to geology & Brenda Maddox in Reading the Rocks does them full justice, bringing them to vivid life. The new science of geology was pursued by this assorted band because it opened a window on Earth`s ancient past. They showed great courage in facing the conflict between geology & Genesis that immediately presented itself: for the rocks & fossils being dug up showed that the Earth was immeasurably old, rather than springing from a creation made in the six days that the Bible claimed. It is no coincidence that Charles Darwin was a keen geologist. The individual stories of these first geologists, their hope & fears, triumphs & disappointments, the theological, philosophical & scientific debates their findings provoked, & the way that as a group, they were to change irrevocably & dramatically our understanding of the world is told by Brenda Maddox with a storyteller`s skill & a fellow scientist`s understanding. The effect is absorbing, revelatory & strikingly original.

In 2012, the world arrived in London for the Olympics & Ann Morgan went out to meet it. She read her way around all the globe`s 196 independent countries (plus one extra), sampling one book from every nation
- from classics & folk tales to current favourites & commercial triumphs, via novels, short stories, memoirs, biographies, narrative poems & countless mixtures of all these things. It wasn`t easy. Many languages have next to nothing translated into English; there are tiny, tucked-away places where very little is written down at all; some governments don`t like to let works of art leak out to corrupt Westerners. Her literary adventures shed light on the issues that affect us all: personal, political, national & global. What is cultural heritage? How do we define national identity? Is it possible to overcome censorship & propaganda? & how can we celebrate, challenge & change our remarkable world?
