Description

Published by the British Geological Survey. Distributed by GSL from March 2014.

This book and map pack contains the Bedrock Geology UK South book and a copy of the folded South map in a clear wallet.

The book guides the interpretation of the 1:625 000 scale Bedrock Geology UK South map, covering England and Wales. This book accompanies the map, and describes the rocks and their origin, from the scattered remnants of ancient volcanoes to Cenozoic clays and gravels.

The geology of the UK has evolved against a background of continental drift, collision and break-up. This long and complex geological history produced the hugely varied sequences and distribution of rocks and landscapes seen across the United Kingdom today.

This book and the accompanying map are written for students and keen amateurs - anyone seeking to gain an understanding of the rocks and landscapes of England and Wales.

Book: paperback, 130mm x 225mm, 84pp, full colour with photographs and diagrams.
Map: folded and cased, 100cm x 110cm approx (13cm x 25cm folded).
