- Supercontinent
- This book explores the the Supercontinent cycle, a geological cycle so vast that our species will probably be extinct long before the current one ends.

Nield introduces readers to some of the most exciting science of our time, describing how geologists first guessed at these vanishing landmasses and came to appreciate the significance of the fusing and fragmenting of supercontinents.
