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.
