Underland: A Deep Time Journey by Robert Macfarlane

4.0

A beautifully written nonfiction book about the world under our feet: the mythical, the geological, the burial. It covers spelunking, graves, early humans and humanoids, the ghosts of the Holocaust, the melting of the permafrost of the arctic circle, drilling of oil, the burial of nuclear waste, etc. It's wide-reaching for a topic that seems very small, but only because we don't think about what's under us.

It's a warning of climate change and the harm humans do to each other, but also an dive in humanity's sense of exploration. I would recommend if you're looking for an easy-to-listen-to nonfiction book.
