From the secret fossils of London to the 3-billion-year-old rocks of the Scottish Highlands, and from state-of-the-art Californian laboratories to one of the world's most dangerous volcanic complexes hidden beneath the green hills of western Naples, set out on an adventure to those parts of the world where the Earth's life-story is written into the landscape.

Helen Gordon turns a novelist's eye on the extraordinary scientists who are piecing together this planetary drama. She gets to grips with the theory that explains how it all works - plate tectonics, a breakthrough as significant in its way as evolution or quantum mechanics, but much younger than either, and still with many secrets to reveal. And she looks to the future of our world, with or without us.©2021 Helen Gordon (P)2021 W. F.

Excellent and fascinating! A very enjoyable book that I enjoyed from beginning to end and a very clear and pleasant narration. I loved the quirky diversions into the lives of some of the people who unraveled the mysteries of geology and deep time.

Fascinating Tales of Deep Time

Difficult to follow with many mispronounced words and pacing poor with gaps in incorrect places and missing from correct places. Performer obviously with little or no knowledge of Geology (subject of book).

Could be much better, probably a good book to read.

Disappointing performance many mispronouncments!

This is an interesting look at deep time that I wish I had read rather than listened to. The narrator uses the exact same droning deadly serious tone no matter what's happening in the book. It wasn't too bad at first but became very annoying, especially as it completely bulldozed anything funny.

Interesting book, annoying narration

A fantastic journey

I would not have cared if the book had been read in American English or British English, but the mis-pronunciations made me think the narrator couldn’t speak either

Good book mangled
