D-D Landings in Normandy, 1944 (2003)
The only British Guide to the geological controls on the D-Day landings in Normandy. The guide puts into context many of the reasons why the Normandy coast was selected for the invasion, reasons most people are, or were, unaware of. The four itineraries are based on examining the solid (mainly highly fossiliferous Jurassic strata) and superficial (such as Pleistocene loess) geology exposures associated with and adjacent to the main landing areas, Sword, Juno, Gold, Omaha and Utah Beaches, including considering them in terms of water supply, aggregate sources, airfield sites and cross-country movements. A glossary is incorporated.

During the last 16 million years (up to recent times) igneous rocks with a variety of compositions have been extruded and then moved E or W of the rift valley which marks the central line of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge The ice sheets and their associated glaciers formed by the accumulation of snow over hundreds of years, occupy 11% of Iceland. The pressure on water trapped in geothermally heated cavities close to the land surface is occasionally relieved generating Geysers. The itineraries in the Guide provide a representative selection of sites of the above.

The Yorkshire Coast (1992) by P.F.Rawson & J.K.Wright
The Yorkshire coast provides magnificent exposures of Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks. The coastal area is now firmly established as a standard for comparison with both the less well exposed areas inland and also for the offshore North Sea basins. Although there has been serious overcollecting from many of the best known coastal sites , excellent specimens can be picked up loose at many of the localities described.

Isle of Arran (1989) 2nd Edition by W.S.McKerrow and F.B.Atkins
The large variety of igneous and sedimentary rocks to be seen on the excellent coastal and island exposures, perhaps excelling any other area in the world has made the Isle of Arran so popular with geologists. The guide has been written assuming a very basic knowledge of geology on the part of the reader. After an extensive introduction to the geology of Arran the six excursions are described together with geological sketch maps. Each excursion can be carried out in seven to eight hours with an indication of a suitable lunch stop!

Geology of the Dorset Coast (1993)
by Michael House
The guide aims to provide a general introduction to what may be seen and where in this coast of unsurpassed geological interest. Most emphasis is on the Jurassic rocks, rather less on Cretaceous and Tertiary which are seen as well or better elsewhere. An introductory section on Sedimentology and Palaeontology has been added by request to introduce terms to the general reader.

A short guide, very suitable for beginners, to the Devonian, New Red Sandstone and Jurassic (Lias) rocks in the vicinity of Watchet. Relatively gentle walks along the foreshore and inland to view exposures, plus the added bonus of examining the usage of local and imported rocks for walls, housing and bridges.

Hadrian’s Wall (1997)
Geology of Hadrian’s Wall by G.A.L.Johnson
The geology of Hadrian’s Wall falls naturally into three sectors: in the East the wall is over Upper Carboniferous Coal Measures and Millstone Grit; the Central Section is underlain by Lower Carboniferous intruded by the Great Whin Sill and in the Western sector the Wall crosses the New Red Sandstone. Glacial drift is widespread. All three sectors are described with specific sites in detail.

The Coastal Landforms of West Dorset (1992)
A series of itineraries illustrating the geology and denudational history along the coastline of West Dorset. This most beautiful coast is world famous for its spectacular recurrent landslides and the causes of these are fully explored together with their effects on shingle movement at beach level, the latter and best known being Chesil Beach.

Costa Blanca, Spain (1990)
An attractive mountainous terrain of varied Triassic to Quaternary geology differing from that of northern Europe and characterised by impressive Alpine-movement (Betic) structures. Some 18 very well illustrated and explained excursions in the vicinity of Benidorm and Alicante give an insight into the fascinating geological history of the area. Car transport is required.

North Coast of Cornwall (1970)
The North Coast of Cornwall from Bude to Tintagel (1970)
by W.R.Dearman, E.C.Freshney, A.F.King, M.Williams and M.C.McKeown
The itineraries described in this guide have been designed to illustrate the stratigraphy and structure of a long coastal tract of Devonian and Carboniferous rocks. As some aspects of the coastal structures are to be related to granite intrusion, one itinerary deals with the northern part of the Bodmin Moor granite and its envelope.

Southern Cyprus (1994) by Trevor Greensmith
This Guide is to some of the more accessible outcrops in Southern Cyprus, including those of the world famous Troodos (Troodhos) Range. It is designed to give the questing novice in the subject of Geology a glimpse of the wide variety of igneous, sedimentary and occasional metamorphic rock types and rock structures which constitute this section of the island and explain the significance of what can be seen at any given locality. Many technical names have had to be introduced which are explained in the glossary.
