For my second to last calendar post I have another book recommendation. It is the book “The Making of a Land: Geology of Norway”. This is a big book with the geological history of Norway, and it tells well how the landscape has been formed over time. While that may sound dry/boring for anyone but someone really interested in geology this book is the opposite of that. It has a very rich selection of photos, illustrations and maps, which also makes it into a nice coffee table book to just look in. Even someone not very interested in geology may find something interesting in this book. The Norwegian version, which I have, won the price for the most beautiful factual book in Norway in 2007. The link above has some examples of the pages in the book. It is a little on the expensive side, so it may be a gift for yourself or someone who loves geology and deserves a bigger gift. But considering the size I think it’s worth the prize.
