Opis

This book deals with those sites selected as part of the Geological Conservation Review within the southern British part of the Caledonides - a Caledonian terrain without strong and pervasive deformation and metamorphism, such as occurred further north.

Recenzje

It is a high-quality production, as is to be expected from Chapman & Hall, with many excellent half-tone ilustrations and clear maps and sections... a valuable work of reference. - Geological Magazine
