excellent read - By: D. Marriott, 08 Aug 2006 
The book reads clearly & is well put together.
Stewarts style flows through the text & I thoroughly recommend this book to go with the TV series (I wish was on DVD).
The mannerin which the geology is explained at is set at all levels & the interest you get from what originally you think of as just rocks was good.
This will turn your Meditrranean Holiday on it's head - By: Geoff Settle, 13 Aug 2005 Make sure you read this book before you go on your next Mediterranean Holiday, or maybe after reading this book you will be flicking over to Easy Jet or Ryan Air & booking your flight to visit some of the wonders described.
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 & 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 & really really enjoying your holiday 10 tens better.
But don't take my word for it pop down to your local book store & flick through the book.
