About this product
Product Information
The Oxford Companion to the Earth is a unique reference work, offering unrivalled coverage of the Earth Sciences, from volcanoes to flood plains, diamonds to meteors, deserts to deep seas. All aspects of geology, including climatology, mineralogy, and oceanography, are covered. In addition, and in keeping with the ethos of an Oxford Companion, there are many eclectic entries, for example on dinosaur hunters, and fossils and folklore, as well as biographies of the key figures involved. Generously illustrated and accessibly written, this book will be an invaluable reference for all those involved in the geosciences, and will provide hours of browsing for students, academics, and lovers of natural history.
