Dictionary of Geology
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
It is the most helpful book I've ever had for this subject- very clear, and concise but highly informative.
An excellent all round glossary of geological terms.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This new edition seems to be both a step forwards and a step backwards, at the same time. The list of terms that are explained is exhaustive. In that sense it is an improvement on the earlier edition. Many geographic terms that are relevant to geology have been included for the first time. However, all the diagrams have been omitted (due to space / price constraints?), and if a picture can paint a thousand words...... Overall though an essential text for any student of geology worth their (rock) salt!!
