Geodiversity by Murray Gray
A counterpoint to biodiversity, geodiversity describes the rocks, sediments, soils, fossils, landforms, and the physical processes that underlie our environment. The first book to focus exclusively on the subject, Geodiversity describes the interrelationships between geodiversity and biodiversity, the value of geodiversity to society, as well as current threats to its existence. Illustrated with global case studies throughout, the book examines traditional approaches to protecting biodiversity and the new management agenda which is starting to be used instead.
"..The author provides a timely review of recent advances in the integration of geodiversity into wider conservation and planning strategies..." (Journal of Quaternary Science, Vol.19, No.8, December 2004) "...the book is well--written and follows a clear and concise outline." (Environmental Geology, Vol. 48, No. 2, July 2005)
