Time better spent: Structure by John McPhee http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/01/14/structure
John McPhee is a National treasure.
"five-volume survey of the geological history of America"

(I don't have a point, I just like the phrase.)

Said book - Annals of the Former World - is only $5.99 in Kindle form at Amazon. It's far from my favorite work of McPhee's, but $5.99 is quite a bargain.
