Product Description
We all live on the Earth...but how many of us are aware of all the processes that shape - and sometimes shake - its surface? "Teach Yourself Geology" is a comprehensive introduction to the nature and history of the Earth, ranging from volcanoes to the implications of our limited natural resources. Featuring extensive black and white and colour illustrations, "Teach Yourself Geology" covers: the origin and evolution of the Earth; rocks, minerals and fossils; key geological processes; earthquakes and volcanoes; geology on other planets; and how to carry out field work.
From the Author
A cheap and cheerful introduction to geology?I am pleased with how this book has been received. It is proving popular as a simple general text for folk early in their study of geology, and is recommended as preparatory reading for various extramural classes and several Open University Earth Science courses. Some students have been kind enough to say that my book is easier and clearer to read than these too! There are plenty of other books that cover similar ground, but they are bigger and considerably more expensive.
