Reviews
... a practical crash course in interpreting the great outdoors... Small enough to fit in a pocket or glovebox but detailed enough to provide useful answers, it is a good overview of how the landscapes we see all around us were formed. * Countryman *
If your only memory of school geography lessons is terminal boredom rather than terminal moraines, this book will help ... a practical crash course. * Cumbria *
Detailed, accessible and small enough to fit in your pocket! * The Lady *
