If you want a well-written, concise but accessable account of the formation and geological evolution of our planet, I would highly recommend this book. Without getting overly technical, it will really get you up to speed on the current understanding the Earth's history, and will leave you with a greater appreciation for the its and, therefore, our existence.

The Little Book Of Planet Earth by meteorologist and geophysicist Rolf Meissner is an amazing introduction to what scientific research through the past centuries up to the modern day has learned about our planet. From the origin of the solar system to plate tectonics to earth's magnetic field and much more, chapters teach all about the Earth in straightforward, easy-to-understand language accessible to lay readers. Highly recommended for readers of all ages, The Little Book Of Planet Earth is enhanced lack-and-white photographs, diagrams, charts and more help bring to life an amazing wealth of information.
