Description

A core component of the natural world is the geology, in the rocks and the landforms that have been created by their erosion.

The plants that cover so much of the world's land areas, ant the myriad animals that inhabit each environment, form the wonderful world of nature, but the backdrops to all of them are the landscapes that are the world of geology.

So many of the world's great natural attractions - the sites, the sights, the national parks, the wow places that folk travel to see - are features of their geology, with landforms that range from awe-inspiring to simply beautiful. And then there are so many more terrains and landscapes that have great stories to tell.

Travelling the world, always armed with a camera, led to the author compiling a substantial collection of photographs, many of which reflected his own interests in their geological theme.

This has grown into a worldwide overview of just a fraction of the magnificent sights, both natural and influenced by mankind, that make the geological world so totally fascinating and frequently so beautiful.

Within these pages, the photographs and their short, accompanying texts offer just a taste of the visual delights within the world of geology.

They constitute a grand tour across the surface of our planet, taking in as many as possible of our most spectacular and most fascinating sites.

The whole book is perhaps best viewed as a glorious journey of discovery.
