Dear Jackie: One of the last books I was able to read was John McPhee's "Annals of the Former World".
It is truly a marvelously enjoyable as well as very informative book about geology. He tells for instance,
that there is a terrane in weatern US, I now forget exact location, that has all the characteristics to
that it once was part of Asia. There are many such known to geologists. Get that book and read it.
You'll be glad you did, I guarantee. Bill
