Shaping a Nation. A Geology of Australia.

Richard Blewett, chief editor.

The story of the geological evolution of the continent as seen through the lens of human impact. Begins with the spatial, temporal and cultural contexts and then covers the evolution of life in Australia, the development of post-Gondwana hydrocarbon systems, the evolution of the landscape, the coastal zone, groundwater, minerals and future energy. Profusely illustrated with photographs, maps and diagrams that reveal the beauty and complexity of the geology and landscapes of Australia. In a pocket at the rear is an accompanying DVD which has extensive appendices, including supplementary reading, maps and a 3D model of many geoscience datasets.

Size 310mmx265mmx50mm. An impressive and extremely large and heavy book.
