Guide to the Geology of Jura

This new guide describes six excursions on Jura that tell the fascinating story of its geological past from 600 million-year-old quartzites to the Ice Age. The geology of each excursion is described at an introductory level with maps and photographs, and they range from leisurely rambles to more demanding longer walks plus a sea-kayak expedition. The book also contains an introduction to geology section, and or those with some geological background, there is a section describing Jura's geological framework in more detail with some key references for further reading. This guide is a companion volume to the Guide to the Geology of Islay which describes twelve geological excursions on Islay and the new Guide to the Geology of Colonsay with five excursions.
