Rocks
A Guide to the Stones Around Us and the Stories They Tell
Book •
Vojta Hybl's 'Rocks' is an illustrated guide aimed at helping readers identify and understand more than 100 common and curious rock types.
Combining Hybl's geology training and science illustration, the book explains igneous, volcaniclastic, sedimentary, metamorphic and anthropic rocks, with practical identification tips and specimen-based illustrations.
It situates each rock within the geological processes that formed it, linking everyday stones to billions of years of planetary change.
Accessible for walkers, outdoor enthusiasts and curious readers, the guide emphasizes observation and the bigger stories rocks reveal about landscapes.
Hybl also addresses human-made 'anthropic' materials and encourages a deeper connection to the ground beneath our feet.
