by Martin Redfern ✦ Review by David Lorimer, December 2003
A very engaging addition to this excellent series from OUP. With his background as a geologist and skill as a science communicator, Martin brings the subject alive in myriad ways. He treats geology in terms of both time and space, then looks beneath the ocean before coming to the nature of continental drift, volcanoes and earthquakes. The book is clearly written and neatly illustrated, making it a first port of call for those seeking an introduction to our dynamic planet.
