Geology of Middle-earth: The path of the Fellowship from a geoscientific point of view by Frederic Klimm and Benjamin Loffler
From the rolling landscape of The Shire over the rocky Weather Hills to the
snow-capped peaks of the Misty Mountains, from the extensive forests of
Fangorn and Lorien via the mighty river Anduin down the whooshing Rauros
falls into the Dead Marshes, from the fertile southern shore of Gondor over
the White Mountains into the volcanic plateau of Gorgoroth in Mordor: J.R.R.
Tolkienīs epic trilogy "The Lord of the Rings" leads us into the
geographically diversified, fictional world of Middle-earth.
We will take you on a trip through Middle-earth and accompany the Fellowship of the Ring anew from a completely different perspective: the perspective of a geologist.

Fair warning, this book (so far; I'm only about 2% in) is in want of an editor: misuse/misapplication of words, grammatical issues, etc... it reads like a high school (or perhaps junior college) term paper.
Saying that, so far it looks like a decently researched paper-- if these
are high school students, they have done well for themselves.
