The Story of the Earth in 25 Rocks: Tales of Important Geological Puzzles and the People Who Solved Them by Donald R. Prothero

3.5: interesting review of basic human history and some science history. It turned out to be a lot of the author saying he knows so and so because he went to school with him or they were his advisor, etc. not as related to geology as I had hoped.
