Submerged Forests, a volume in the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature series, is a study of the land beneath the coastal areas and estuaries of Great Britain. Clement Reid dives into the geology, botany, zoology, and archaeology found beneath the water.

"Knowledge cannot be divided into compartments, each given a definite name and allotted to a different student. There are, and always must be, branches of knowledge in which several sciences meet or have an interest, and these are somewhat liable to be neglected. If the following pages arouse an interest in one of the by-ways of science their purpose has been fulfilled."

If you're fascinated by geological time, tin mining in Cornwall, and the fluctuations of sea level around Great Britain, this book will fascinate you. It is also very well read.
