Brilliant submitted by amy on August 11, 2015, 1:57pm This is one of the best pieces of nonfiction writing I've ever had the pleasure to read. An accretion of four previous works into a masterpiece of literary breadth and depth that parallels his subject - a cross-section of North America along Interstate 80 chronicling the nearly imponderable geological changes to the earth's crust over the course of billions of years. With brilliantly executed side trips en route into history, biography, and science, Annals of the Former World brings to life the hidden history of our planet and will forever change the way you look at the world around you.
