Europe: The First 100 Million Years

This is a natural history of Europe as a continent and as an ecosystem. The chapters are short and crammed, but worth reading for the clever language and because this is a topic that is sorely neglected amongst hundreds of history books about the time of the dinosaurs and thousands about human history. The in-between time is often cast aside. 
I think that perhaps the chapters could have been fewer and more detailed rather than so many brief cursory treatments of varied aspects of the topic.
