Historical Geology in Maps

This book, which is the only one of its kind available worldwide, tells the tectonic plate history of the world, and the geological history of the British Isles and Ireland by means of a series of 24 sequential maps - 12 of the tectonic plates, and 12 of each major geological period for the British Isles. Each map is accompanied by descriptive text. The descriptions of the geological periods include an imaginative description of what it would be like to visit that time, and a factual description of the geology, rocks, fossils, climate, tectonics, and coastal distribution.
