My project is to describe the rocks and fossils of the UK mountains and shoreline in a way that can be understood by the ordinary walker; but also to accompany technical description with a clear photo. Even better if the photograph is an attractive picture in its own right!
A roundup of my geology-themed books, book chapters, and a BBC podcast, is on this page.
