"In this Very Short Introduction Jan Zalasiewicz looks at the structure and diversity of rocks, and the processes by which they form. He describes their formation during the birth of our planet; considers what rocks there might be in Earth's deep mantle and core and on other planets; and shows how humans are creating new rock types today."--
