An interesting change to Ian Vince's usual (and always amusing) books. The Lie of the Land approaches the geology of the British Isles in a most digestable way. He manages to circumvent confusing geological terminology by gently explaining everything with inputs of gentle humour, and more than the occasional cup of tea. By linking in with the associated website, you can see fantastic features of the British Landscape caught on photo to accompany the detailed workings of their formation explained in the book itself. Easy to read, this book is a MUST for anyone and everyone that has ever looked at the British views and wondered "how did that get to be so beautiful?". The only negative point I could make: I'm now boring the socks off everyone by excitedly explaining the Lie of the (more local) Land, now that I understand how it all came to pass! Sorry, everyone. Read the book, it's better at explaining it than me! (and more interesting!)
