Yes, it’s still a picture from the cruise, but no, this isn’t about the cruise. Instead it’s about the book I am reading.
Have you ever bought a book, not knowing what to expect, but as you get into it, it become so exciting that you become almost breathless with what is happening and the anticipation of what is going to happen next?
This is what this book is doing to me. So what is it this tome of excitement? Is it a book of high eroticism? Or perhaps intensely action filled? Well, actually, they’d guess it’s more of the latter really, with none of the former unless you are the type of person who, if you will forgive the expression, gets their rocks off…on rocks.
Rocks violently crashing into rocks with sufficient force to liquify them, and fold them into the alpine mountain range, with the ripples running through the earths crust to end up at the Lulworth / Purbeck Monocline. All happening at the lightening geological speed of several hundred millimetres on years.
The book? Oh yes, it’s the Geology of the Jurassic Coast – The Isle of Purbeck, Weymouth to Studland by Paul Ensor and Malcolm Turnbull. Seriously, a riveting read.
