The TV series has opened my eyes to a whole different understanding of Mediterranean Geomorphology. I studied the subject at Lanchester Poly (Coventry University) as a module but the clarity of this book will enable everyone to understand the theories of plate tectonics, mineral formation, vulcanicity, hot springs, sea level rise like never before.

It uses simple everyday techniques to get across complicated ideas. After reading this book the complications disappear.

Lovely photographs and extremely well researched.

After reading this book you will not be content to simply get a sun tan on your holiday you will be off exploring and really really enjoying your holiday 10 tens better.

But don't take my word for it pop down to your local book store and flick through the book.
