| | 1. |  | DK Handbooks: Rocks & Minerals
from DK ADULT
Price: $8.50
Customer Review:

| | 2. |  | Salt: A World History
from Penguin (Non-Classics)

| | 10. |  | Coal: A Human History
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $7.15
Customer Review:
If you approach this book hoping to get an in depth and historic view of coal as a substance that formed and shaped much of human history and culture, you will find little satisfaction here. I was expecting a book something akin to Mark Kurlansky's excellent books "Salt" and "Cod" but instead found... more info
