This completely revised edition has been rewritten to reflect the major changes in knowledge since the first edition. There are four additional chapters, on geological pioneers, engineering geology, environmental geology and off-shore geology. The book also lists all official and local sites of geological and geomorphological interest, includes an expanded reference list and a colour geological map. It is aimed at all readers with an amateur or professional interest in geology, and undergraduate fieldworkers should find the book particularly helpful. It is a companion volume to "The Geology of Cornwall" (0-85989-529-7).

On 'The Geology of Cornwall':
"A useful book for an introduction to Cornish geology." (OUGS Journal, 22(1), Spring 2001)
"Altogether this is a most informative and readable book, and the paperback version is very reasonably priced. It is recommended for anyone who wishes to gain an informed up-to-date introduction to the geology of this geologically complex, yet historically important area." (Mineralogical Magazine October 1999)
Eric Durrance and Brian Selwood are retired geologists who have worked at the University of Exeter; Deryck Laming is a consultant geologist based in Exeter.
