Description
Interest in the environment has never been greater and yet most of us
have little knowledge about the 4 billion years of history that formed
it. This book explains the principles of geology, geography and
geomorphology, and shows how a basic understanding of geological
timescales, plate tectonics and landforms can help you 'read' the great
outdoors. This is a highly illustrated book with a very accessible text
that clearly illuminates the landscape around us.

Reviews
-
... a practical crash course in interpreting the great outdoors... Small enough to fit in a pocket or glovebox but detailed enough to provide useful answers, it is a good overview of how the landscapes we see all around us were formed.

If your only memory of school geography lessons is terminal boredom rather than terminal moraines, this book will help ... a practical crash course.
