How to Read the Landscape by Robert Yarham
Interest in the environment has never been greater and yet most of us 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.
'..a practical crash course in interpreting the great outdoors...Small enough to fit in a pocket or glovebox but detailed enough to provide useful answers, it is a good overview of how the landscapes we see all around us were formed.' Countryman (August 2010) 'If your only memory of school geography lessons is terminal boredom rather than terminal moraines, this book will help...a practical 'crash course' Cumbria (November 2010) Detailed, accessible and small enough to fit in your pocket!
