Designed as the most comprehensive guide available for the hill
walker exploring the Nevis and Mamore ranges in the Scottish
Highlands around Fort William, this book describes in detail the
best and most rewarding routes across the area, ranging from
peaceful strolls through scenic glens to ascents of the principal
Munros (peaks over 3000ft) and Munro Tops. All the walks have been
tried and tested by the author, an experienced climber and
outdoorsman as well as a professional geologist, and each is graded
accorded to difficulty. Each route is described in detail and
accompanied by a sketch map, an altitude profile and high-quality
photographs to help the reader choose a route. There is also a
wealth of valuable information about history, geology and mountain
flora and fauna. This guide is the ideal introduction for the more
experienced and adventurous mountain explorer who wishes to leave
the tourist routes and seek the best of Highland beauty and
solitude.
This book is intended to be the most complete and up-to-date guide
to the geology and fossils of the New Forest, providing a wealth of
information of interest to both the amateur fossil collector and
the professional geologist. It includes some 200 field photographs,
palaeogeographic maps, digitised borehole/outcrop logs, and
geological cross sections. Also included is a tour of the regional
geological evolution of southern England since the Permian Period
(-280 million years ago), based on deep boreholes and coastal
exposures, including the world-famous Jurassic coast of Dorset and
east Devon. The author discusses the petroleum geology of southern
England and the New Forest and gives a detailed overview of the
stratigraphy of the Hampshire Basin, followed by related aspects of
economic geology within this area, including ironstones, freshwater
aquifers, geothermal energy, sand, clay and peat resources.
Finally, there is an up-to-date and complete account of the
principal fossil localities, together with a comprehensive gallery
of photographs with accompanying descriptions of the most abundant
fossils within the New Forest National Park.
