About

In the mid-nineteenth century, British geology was an intellectual backwater, trailing its Continental masters. Three men would place the enigmatic stones of Britain at the centre of international science, in the process rewriting the story of our planet. Yet their own story has never been told in full.

Drawing on wonderfully vivid diaries, ,letters, field notes and contemporary accounts, The Greywacke is a momentous drama of discovery and an irresistible celebration of our wild places.
