GEOLOGY: A VERY SHORT INTRODUCTION (PB)

Professor Jan Zalasiewicz describes how geology developed from its early beginnings, looks at some of the key discoveries that have transformed it, and delves into its subfields such as sedimentology, tectonics, and stratigraphy. He goes on to consider the importance of geology to the finding and exploitation of resources, its relevance to construction, landfill and climate change, and concludes with the future of the field such as exploring the geology of Mars.
