Discover how to identify the everyday rocks we find under our feet and their remarkable stories in this fun and comprehensive guide.

What is that rock you’ve just picked up? Which minerals is it formed of, what’s unique about it, and what can it reveal about the deeper story of the Earth?

Vojta Hybl is on a mission to teach us about the everyday rocks we find under our feet and tell their remarkable stories. From helping rock enthusiasts and walkers – or simply those curious to know more about the natural world – with identifying the stones they come across, to aiding our understanding of the physical landscapes around us, this is a simple, beautiful guide to spotting and identifying over 100 types of rock, all accompanied with unique specimen illustrations.

A Czech-born science artist and educator, Vojta enjoys finding creative ways to re-imagine scientific concepts to reveal the stories hidden in rocks and the landscapes that they form.
