Iceland
Nowhere else on Earth is the volcanic and tectonic architecture of seafloor rifts better exposed than on Iceland. This book offers an introductory guide to Iceland's geology. --
Leinster
Leinster - in the east and southeast of Ireland - is a land of rocks that spell out the Palaeozoic history of Britain and Ireland. This book explains the geology of Leinster and leads the geological tourist to the more accessible sites and outcrops revealing its history. (Series: Classic Geology in Europe)
The Hebrides
The Western Highlands contain some of the oldest rocks in Europe in a landscape formed more than a billion years ago that has re-emerged from the depths. Geologists have been examining these rocks since the early nineteenth century and, in spite of intense research in this tiny fraction of the Earth's surface, major controversies still surround some of the rock formations. Many fundamentally important concepts in geology were first developed here and then applied elsewhere around the world. The region is an outstanding natural laboratory for the study of mountain building and folding, including the discovery that thick sequences of rocks have been turned completely upside down, and pushed sideways for over 100 kilometres. Representatives of all the major rocks types are found here, and their ages span three-quarters of geological time since the Earth began, some four and a half billion years ago.

The North of Ireland
Paul Lyle provides a comprehensive geological history of this part of Ireland, written within the framework of plate tectonics. Illustrated in colour throughout, this introductory guide provides an attractive and highly accessible account of a remarkably diverse region. The detailed excursion guide notes, maps and field photographs enhance the reader's understanding of a fascinating succession of localities, including the Giant's Causeway World Heritage Site. Published in association with the Department of the Environment (Northern Ireland), whose support has made possible reproduction of all photographic illustrations in colour, the book is an essential purchase for visiting geologists as students, amateurs or professionals.
