book also considers important new developments in monitoring, such
as remote sensing and the use of GIS, as well as the use of
electronic educational resources in delivering interpretation.
Attention is given to the implications of climate change,
inadequate protected area security and the ever-increasing
influence of the landscape matrix. Moreover, the second edition
includes a comprehensive review of the new literature that has
emerged since the publication of the first edition more than a
decade ago. Accordingly this book will remain an invaluable

communities, communicates and promotes geological heritage and
engages a wide range of different people. Case studies] are
included providing insight into and suggest best practice for
issues such as conservation, risk management, education, marketing,
interpretation and technology.
