 Helpful June 3, 2005
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
this is an extrememly helpful book although it does tend to go into a lot of detail which is sometimes confusing as I am studying AS geology at present! It would be more helpful with diagrams to explain but it brilliant all the same.
 Ideal for undergraduates and postgraduates alike July 1, 2002

This is an excellent book - essential for quick referencing of terms and expressions used in the field of geology. The title does not aim to be exhaustive - its aim is to give definition to 99% of popular terminology used by Earth Science students.
The format is clear and helpful, the cross-referencing being of particular use.
Advanced readers will also find the access to terminology beyond their usual field of specialisation, most useful. Typically a postgraduate will have specialists texts for his or her field of study, but lack a book that covers the broader fields of geology and geophysics.
The definitions are concise and to the point, and are not limited to strictly geological terms. "Cross-over" words, used for example in biology, geography or physics, as well as geology are included.
I have found this book most helpful in my postgraduate research and would recommend this text to any undergraduate or postgraduate student as a cost effective, quick reference guide.

This book has been the most useful geological book i have ever used. Its interesting and gets me through every essay, report or project i have to do. If you ever wonder about the definition of a geological word just wip out this trusty guide and discover everything you need to know. An easy to use guide to every geological word providing excellent, detailed definitions. A must to any and all people intersted into geology.
