Clay is older than pottery and stranger than it looks, and Alfred Searle tells its natural history. He traces the origin, kinds, and properties of the earth that becomes brick, china, and tile. Clear, systematic, and grounded in geology and industry. A study of the humble material that shaped civilization. Discover the deep history of the clay beneath your feet and in your cup.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
