The Geology of Scotland is a fully revised and updated key text celebrating Scotland's onshore and offshore geology. It provides a modern review of advances in our understanding over the last two decades of academic and applied research. The volume is broad based, aimed at undergraduates, academic- and industry-based geoscientists, policy makers and amateur geologists.
