Titre(s) : The geotraveller [Texte électronique] : geology of famous geosites and areas of historical interest / by Roger N. Scoon
Édition : 1st ed.
Publication : Cham : Springer international publishing, copyright 2021
Description matérielle : 1 online resource
Note(s) : This book describes famous geosites and historical localities in national parks and
conservation areas from North America, East Africa, and Europe. The geosites include
iconic landforms associated with active volcanoes, canyons, glaciated landscapes,
natural rock monoliths, and rifts. The potential for geotourism in historical localities
such as the famous Greco-Roman antiquities of Greece, Italy, and Turkey, is emphasised.
Some of the geosites and historical localities provide evidence that previous civilizations
coped with active geology and major climatic cycles, whilst others reveal evidence
of famous geological events recognized in history and ancient mythology that helped
shape our current civilization. The book assists tour guides and visitors (both geologists
and non-specialists) interested in geotourism by providing an understanding of geological
processes in the national parks and historical locations with the assistance of photographs
and simplified geological maps
