Description

An excellently written book about geology and geological history.

Richard Fortey explores the dimension of time and space by stripping away the Earth's surface to reveal the hidden landscape - the rocks that contain the history of distant events, which not only shape the personality of the landscape but also determine the nature of the soil, the plants that thrive in it, and the regional characteristics of buildings. We travel with him as our guide across all the British Isles, and as the rocks change, we learn to read the layers that reveal: that Britain was once divided into two parts separated by a northern ocean, that Scottish beer, Harris tweed, slate roofs, and thatched cottages can be traced back to tumultuous events that occurred millions of years ago. "The Hidden Landscape" has become a classic in popular geology since its first publication in 1993. This edition has been fully updated and beautifully illustrated.

Pages: 336, Dimensions: 15.3x15.3cm
