This is a reprint of the second edition of Dr Rayner's standard
text on the stratigraphy and historical geology of the British
Isles. The book is written for undergraduates and other readers who
may have only a general acquaintance with the broad principles of
geology. An introductory chapter reviews the basic principles of
stratigraphy, geochronology and tectonics. The various geological
systems found in the British Isles are then considered in turn. A
valuable feature of the book is the extensive treatment of
different regional areas within the discussion of a particular
geological system. In the final chapter the author reviews briefly
those major economic resources that are related to stratigraphy.
Throughout the text care has been taken to introduce the plate
tectonic interpretation of stratigraphic features. Much more is
known about the neighbouring continental shelf and the geology of
sea floors and this also is included in order to provide a
comprehensive integrated account of the geological history of the
British Isles.
