A photo of three books standing on a small, brown, wooden table. The out-of-focus background shows black shelves full of books and part of the beech-coloured laminate floor.

On the left, The Nile Basin, showing a hardback with a colour photo of a sand-filled desert landscape with stone ruins in the background against a cloudless blue sky.

In the middle, A Pipeline Runs Through It, showing a hardback with a black-and-white period photo of a landscape full of old-timey oil pumps and various sheds. In the foreground is a row of people posing for the photographer, some on horseback, and one in an early nineteenth-century open-topped automobile.

On the right, The Great Paradox of Science, showing a hardback with three coloured bands running from dark to very light teal. In the top section is an upturned Penrose triangle, an optical illusion of an impossible triangle.
