Pocket Guide Geologie im Gelände

This book is a field guide that helps identify and describe minerals, rocks, and the main groups of fossils in the field. Additionally, it describes a range of important geological structures and presents them in numerous photographs. This invites you to explore the geology behind landscapes and rocks outdoors.

Geology is a science that truly comes alive when hiking in nature, such as along the coast or through national parks. With just a little knowledge, you will experience the landscape differently. The rocks will come to life, and you will be able to read their history like a book, understanding the diversity and complexity of geological processes. Such processes—a interplay of magmatism, tectonics, metamorphism, climate, and sedimentation—have shaped the Earth's surface as we know it today.

The book is aimed at geology enthusiasts and students, serving as a valuable companion for excursions into nature.
