Book recommendations for Geology at university

Hi,

I will be applying to university this year (for 2016 entry) to study Geology with Geophysics and would like some books to read in order to prepare for the first year, any suggestions?

Some good books that I enjoyed include:
-The Two Mile Time Machine (one of the best books I've ever read, read this if you're interested in climate)
-The Goldilocks Planet (a good, comprehensive overview of environmental change over the history of the earth)
-How to Build a Habitable Planet (probably the most comprehensive book you're going to find about the Earth Sciences that isn't a textbook, but it's not easy reading. I recommend it but be prepared to skip stuff. FYI, this is first year reading at Oxford.)
-The Planet in a Pebble (by the same author of The Goldilocks Planet, a different perspective on a similar topic)
-The Earth After Us (by the same author of The Goldilocks Planet, looking at what would remain of human civilization 100 million years in the future)
-The Earth: An intimate History (it's been a long time since I've read this but it's probably one of the classic popular science books on the subject)
-Supercontinent (another classic popular science book on geology)

I'd particularly recommend the ones in bold (those are the two books I mentioned in my personal statement) but that is partially because of my particular interest in environmental change. All of these books are very good.
