Riassunto

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.

'If your only memory of school geography lessons is terminal boredom rather than terminal moraines, this book will help...a practical 'crash course''
--Cumbria, 1st November 2010
