I got bogged down a bit in the first 1/3 of the book, which was fairly detailed geological history (which is not a bad thing, and Simon Winchester writes about complex scientific matters as clearly as can be hoped for), but I was much more interested in the social history in this book. Very detailed, very enjoyable. Some outstanding footnotes.
