British Fossils.
British Museum of Natural History.
This series of three books has established itself as the classic work of reference for all students of geology. It provides information on which fossils one may expect to find amongst the wealth of geological horizons occurring in Britain, and at the same time aids in the identification of the species once they have been found. Amateur and professional paleontologists alike will continue to find that these volumes are as important to their studies as their hand lens and geological hammer.

Investigation and Management of Erosion, Deposition and Flooding in Great Britain.
Great Britain Department of the Environment. 1995.
Erosion, deposition and flooding are natural phenomena and an integral part of the natural landscape. The processes can for example shape the coastal cliffs and broad meandering rivers that are part of our natural heritage. These processes only become hazards or problems when society encroaches into these dynamic environments either for housing, development or transportation. Here attitudes can vary dramatically. This study aims to provide an assessment of erosion, deposition and flooding processes, with particular reference to their significance to land use planning and development, and the impact on the economy and significance for the environment. Paperback, 234 pp., illustrated with charts and graphs.

ISO 14001 Case Studies and Practical Experiences.
Ruth Hillary. 2000.
This publication gives real Case Studies and practical experiences from companies such as Nike, Amec and the New York Transit Authority who have implemented ISO14001 and environmental management systems. It deals with the key issues surrounding environmental management, environmental performance, sustainability, integration, stakeholders and the use of IT. Readers of this book will find it beneficial from a practical "what to do, what not to do" stance as well as strategically - how to build the business case for 14001. Co-published with Greenleaf, this publication has been written by Ruth Hillary, a specialist in environmental management systems with a particular reference to SME's. Ruth is director of NEMA, Editor of the CBI Environmental Management Handbook and Co-editor of Europe Corporate Environmental Strategy. Hardcover, 360 pp.

Landsliding in Great Britain.
Great Britain Department of the Environment. 1995.
Landsliding is a hazard that many people in Great Britain fail to take seriously. Large tracts of the country appear too flat to threaten major instability, while those areas which do contain high, steep slopes are generally sparsely populated so the risks appear low. However, appearances can be deceptive. Not only are there numerous reported landslides each year which cause damage and sometimes death, but there are also many thousands of old landslides which can move again if disturbed. There is clearly a need for a book that describes the nature of the threat presented by landsliding in the UK for the non-specialist. This book attempts to fill that need. Its purpose is to provide an informed, readable and relatively non-technical appreciation of landsliding in Britain based on current knowledge. The objective is to provide an explanation of what the various types of landslide look like, where they occur, why they occur, what is known about the major phases of movement in the past, their impact on the British economy and the ways in which landslide-imposed costs can be limited in the future. Paperback, xx + 361 pp., illustrated in color and b/w with 32 pp. of color plates.

Ordovician (Caradoc) Marginal Basin Volcanism in Snowdonia (North-west Wales).
M.F. Howells, A.J. Reedman & S.D.G. Campbell, British Geological Survey. 1991.
A major geochemical study of the volcanic rocks has been accomplished alongside multi-disciplinary studies of sedimentology, physical volcanology, palaeontology, structure and metamorphism. The great age of this volcanic province, subsequent tectonic events, uplift and erosion have allowed the study to encompass all stages from its birth, through its maturity into its lingering death, in a way that is denied those analyzing younger activity. This book represents a major advance in our understanding of volcanic processes in marine environments, acidic ash-flow tuffs in subaerial and subaqueous settings, tectonic controls on volcanism and sedimentation and petrogenetic modeling. Paperback, 191 pp.

Tracks of Triassic Vertebrates.
Fossil Evidence from North-West England.
G. Tresise & Wm. Sarjeant. 1997.
Fossil footprints deriving from large vertebrates dating from the Triassic period were found in both Germany and England in the 1930's. This lavishly illustrated book traces the history of the tracks in NW England, and narrates the finds of the 19th century, drawing from unpublished contemporary accounts and illustrations. It also describes the turn of the century work of iconologist Henry Beasley, whose extensive photographic archive is both fully inventoried and generous illustrated here.
