Identify the rocks you discover and uncover the stories they hold.

What is that rock you’ve just picked up? Which minerals is it made of, what’s unique about it, and what can it reveal about Earth’s deeper story?

Rocks gives you the tools to answer these questions. Geologist and science illustrator Vojta Hybl guides you through more than 100 rock types, explaining how they form, what they look like and the geological processes they represent.

This authoritative yet accessible guide includes:

Clear explanations of igneous, volcaniclastic, sedimentary, metamorphic, and anthropic rocks.
Practical tips for spotting and identifying rocks, including detailed specimen illustrations that highlight key features for easy recognition.
Insight into minerals, the rock cycle, and Earth’s dynamic history.

Alongside practical identification advice, Rocks invites you to see the ground beneath your feet in a new way, connecting everyday stones to billions of years of planetary change.

Whether you’re a curious hiker, an outdoor enthusiast, or simply fascinated by the natural world, this book will transform how you experience landscapes and help you read the stories written in stone.
