Outlines the geological history and evolution of the British Isles and its surrounding sea areas. New information concerning Britain's evolution has emerged from the recent exploration of the seas around Britain in the search for oil and gas and much of this new information has been incorporated. The book will serve university and college students, sixth-form pupils in geology and will also be valuable to students in the allied disciplines such as geography, oceanography, and civil engineering

Britain, Ireland and their surrounding areas have a remarkably varied geology for so small a fragment of continental crust. This region contains a fine rock record from all the geological periods from Quaternary back to Cambrian, and a less continuous but still impressive catalogue of events back through nearly 2500 million years of Precambrian time. This protracted geological history would have been interesting enough to reconstruct if it had been played out on relatively stable continental crust. However, Britain and Ireland have developed instead at a tectonic crossroads, on crust traversed intermittently by subduction zones and volcanic arcs, continental rifts and mountain belts. The resulting complexity makes the geological history of this region at once fascinating and perplexing. Geological History of Britain and Ireland tells the geological story of the region at a level accessible to undergraduate geologists, as well as to postgraduates, professionals or informed amateurs. The book takes a multi-disciplinary rather than a purely stratigraphical approach, and aims to bring to life the processes behind the catalogue of historical events. Full coverage is given to the rich Precambrian and Early Palaeozoic history, as well as to later events more relevant to hydrocarbon exploration. The book is profusely illustrated and contains guides to further reading and full references to data sources, making it an essential starting point for more detailed studies of the regional geology. All British Earth science undergraduates will be required to spend some time studying British Geological History, and this book will be the only one available to British undergraduates The book takes a process-based approach, rather than simply describing the regional stratigraphy Lavishly illustrated with high-quality diagrams

Excerpt from Geology of the British Isles The completeness of the geological record in the British Isles, the variations in the facies of the different formations from place to place, and the immense volume of the literature that has accumulated, render it impossible for one man to do justice to the Regional Geology of the area. It was therefore decided to divide the work among a number of specialists, each of whom could write with authority on the subject allotted to him and be individually responsible for his contributions. Every effort has, however, been made to secure as much uniformity as was possible in bibliographical and typographical details. The majority of the illustrations have been taken by permission from the official Reports of the Geological Surveys and the publications of the Geological Society and of the Geologists Association, the exact source being given in each case. The general maps have been prepared by A. Morley Davies, who has made a careful study of the structural geology of the whole country. He also had the advantage of detailed information supplied to him by other contributors. I am however responsible for the symbols employed on the structural maps, and the system of shading adopted in those showing the distribution of the different formations at the surface. Other maps and diagrams have been specially prepared for the present work by the contributors, who are identified by their initials. The folds and faults of England and Wales are usually grouped in four systems, according to their general axial directions: 1. The Charnian system, with N.W. - S.E. direction; 2. The Caledonian system, with N.E. - S.W. direction; 3. The Malvernian system, with N. - S. direction; 4. The Armerican system, with direction varying from E.N.E. - W.S.W. through E. - W. to W.N.W. - E.S.E. To each of these systems an age of predominance may be assigned, but the use of any name must not be taken as implying age: it denotes merely direction.

This book discusses the geological history of Britain from the early geological formation of the British Isles, through to the variety of currently visible rock formations and ensuing natural landscapes. It is presented as an accessible narrative which may be utilised in a variety of educational contexts, or simply enjoyed as an holistic overview of the subject. It additionally provides an important visual record of British geology in the 21st century via a portfolio of high quality, scientifically accurate photographs, which are themselves part of a larger collection, being developed to become the definitive image library for British geoscience. In addition, the book provides an insight into the relationship between the geology of Britain and how early settlers interacted with the landscape throughout Mesolithic and Neolithic times. It is a book which serves equally as a scientific reference, an introduction to the subject of British geology and, no doubt, as an edition which will remain a pleasure to own in its own right.

Essential reading for first- and second-year Geology undergraduates, A-Level Geology teachers and students and enthusiastic amateur geologists. The book includes a comprehensive glossary, maps and excellent full-colour illustrations, and is based on part of a second-level Open University short course of the same name. The landscape and surface environment of the continental crust that now forms the islands of Great Britain, Ireland and the adjacent lesser isles has undergone dramatic changes during the geological history of the Earth. This book takes the reader on a geological tour of the British Isles, showing how changes in climate, sea-level and relief can be recognized and understood in the geological record. The reader is asked to use a variety of data and geological principles to interpret how and why different rocks formed, and to identify past environments and tectonic settings. By unravelling the geological history of the British Isles, a remarkable insight is gained into the geological evolution of the whole Earth.

The British Isles occupy only a tiny area of the North Atlantic region. However, they are situated at a crucial position between North America, Scandinavia and Western Europe, providing key information about former links between the orogenic belts of these regions from late Archaean times onwards. This book adopts tectonics as the framework for a description of the geological evolution of the British Isles, but uses a multidisciplinary approach, highlighting the interrelationships between deformation and sedimentology, metamorphism, igneous and other geological processes. A recurrent theme is the control exerted on basinsubsidence and inversion by basement structure. Summary accounts are provided on the orogenic belts elsewhere in the North Atlantic region so that the reader may fully understand the geological history of the classical structures within the regional context. structural geology and sedimentology.
