This was a great book for people interested (even a little bit) about BC geology. While it sounds like a textbook, it is very easy to read, and has lots of graphics to help get across more complex ideas. The book goes into just enough detail that I feel next time I'm driving around, I'll be able to know a bit more about the rock and soil around me, but not so much detail that I'm going to get overwhelmed and not remember any of it.

The book is divided up into two parts: the geology, and then post-glacial ecology, which discussed how species changed before, during, and after the ice age, and how they migrated into BC as the glaciers melted. This was a great touch, as the glaciers affected our topography so much, but we might not realize how it also affected our ecology.
