Description
This unrivalled, five-volume reference work covers all aspects of geology including earth history, earth materials, surface processes, regional geology, economic geology, engineering geology, petroleum geology, geochemical and mineral exploration, and the history of geology. The techniques of remote sensing and other tools of investigation that have advanced rapidly over the last few decades are described in detail.
Encyclopedia of Geology is divided into nearly 350 articles, each covering one aspect of geology. Full colour is used throughout the work and articles are heavily cross-referenced and include further reading lists. The concepts and theory are explained at a level that allows undergraduates and educated laypeople to understand them. It will become the reference of choice for today's geologists and beyond.
