In this update of the 1992 edition, Benchley (U. of Liverpool, UK) and Rawson (U. College, London) introduce 17 chapters by noting the remarkable fact that the landmass of present-day England and Wales encompasses all the geological systems. Their introduction presents a broad overview that is accessible to nonspecialists, and features a reproduction of the first (1815) geological map of a country (England-Wales). Chapters organized in approximate temporal order cover the pre-Cambrian to the present era, including offshore and economic geological issues. Though geologists generally dwell on the past, the well-illustrated volume concludes with predictions about the region's future due to climate change and other forces. Distributed in the US by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
