Reviews
A.J. van Loon, JOURNAL OF SEDIMENTARY RESEARCH, 2005
"Where the price may be fairly high for private acquisition, it is certainly not too high for libraries. Librarians will find out that,
as soon as people know about the presence of this work in an institute, too (?) many earth scientists will frequently want to use it.
Stuff to become addicted to."
B. Windley, PRECAMBRIAN RESEARCH, 2005
"I have learnt a lot from reading selected subjects from these volumes, and often on subjects that I would not normally find myself reading.
It is an achievement that should be acclaimed, and an enterprise that should be supported."
C. Hebblethwaite, CHOICE, 2005
Over the past decade a number of print and online encylopedias have been published about the earth sciences. This title (currently in
print but soon to be available online) focuses on geology rather than all the earth sciences.
Recommended. All levels.
H. Ashton, Reference Reviews, 2005
"The aim of this work is to provide an authoritative and comprehensive coverage of all aspects of geology, an objective that is most
certainly achieved. ...this set is aimed at undergraduate and educated lay people - the audience as stated in the book are "academic
libraries servicing earth and environmental science departments as well as industrial, government and public libraries, practising geologists,
engineers and environmental scientists". I agree totally with this statement".
