Description
This is a book about the earth history of Ireland. Written for people who have no prior knowledge, it brings the reader on a journey through deep time, unfolding the Irish landscape from the distant past to the present day and explaining along the way all the basic geological principles required to fully understand the evolution of Ireland from disconnected fragments of the earth's crust. The authors demonstrate that by learning to read rocks along the trails described in the book, readers can discover for themselves the extraordinary set of circumstances that led to the making of Ireland.
