Roadside Geology

Annals of the Former World - John McPhee describes geology in lucid terms, and makes the topic come alive.  This book is structured as a journey across the US at the 40th parallel, describing the geology as he travels, but it becomes much more than just a bare scientific description.  McPhee is one of our best writers. I've read many of McPhee's articles in the New Yorker that form the basis of this book, and they're excellent.

Oddly, the only books that envision the power of tectonic events as well are the Mars Trilogy of Kim Stanley Robinson
