An absolutely fascinating book and one that is perfectly suited to audio version. I'm not particularly interested in geology but the story of William Smith, as told by Simon Winchester, is full of as much drama and intrique, humor and pathos as a novel! In addition, there are wonderful details about English society, and science, in the late 1700s.
The author also manages the rare task of doing an excellent job of reading his own book!
This is the unabridged cassette version, 6 tapes, 9.5 hours running time.
