Geoscience Reference
In-Depth Information
The material that I have used in this topic ranges very widely. It includes leaflets and
local guides available at visitor centres, general accounts for a wide readership, system-
atic scientific reviews and technical original research papers. I have arranged sugges-
tions for further reading in sections that follow the order of the chapters of this topic,
starting with the general introduction (Chapters 1-3), proceeding through the regional
accounts (Chapters 4-8) and ending with the overview (Chapter 9).
Internet search engines will also provide valuable leads on almost all the topics
raised in this topic.
