The Story of the Earth in 25 Rocks
每一颗石头都有自己的故事，它们都是地球历史的见证者。本书精心挑选了25种动摇地质学根基、改写地球演化史的岩石、露头或地质现象，从经典露头到月岩再到彻底改变我们对地球运作方式认知的板块漂移，讲述了科学家如何化身“侦探”，透过这些石头，寻找关于地球历史的蛛丝马迹，拨开重重迷雾，侦破“地质谜案”。25个地质发现如同25块拼图，拼凑出地质史的全貌，串起地球的演化历程。
每个地质发现的背后都凝聚着无数科学家的心血和汗水。作者无疑是讲故事的好手，他还为我们述说了老普林尼为了考察火山而不幸身亡，威廉·史密斯坐过牢，魏格纳为了证明“大陆偏移”葬身北极……他们倾其一生，执着如一，被质疑、遭诽谤，历经各种困难，才终于真相大白。
全书以先提出谜题后进行分析的问答形式，带领读者追随科学家的脚步，破解地质学上的重大谜团。
