How to Read the Landscape by Robert Yarham

How to Read the Landscape by Robert Yarham

An easily accessible, highly illustrated guide to the geology, geography and geomorphology that form landscapes. Interest in the environment has never been greater and yet most of us have little knowledge of the 4 billion years of history that formed it. With this book, learn about the principles of geology, geography and geomorphology, and discover 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 beautifully 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 *
If your only memory of school geography lessons is terminal boredom rather than terminal moraines, this book will help ... a practical crash course. * Cumbria *
Detailed, accessible and small enough to fit in your pocket! * The Lady *
