Underland: A Deep Time Journey
by Robert Macfarlane
Robert Macfarlane's Underland goes down instead of up: into sea caves, glaciers, and a vault built to hold nuclear waste for a hundred thousand years. It's nature writing of unusual ambition, fusing geology, myth, and reportage to ask what humans bury, hoard, and leave behind in the rock.
