Oxfordshire, The County in Colour~Remarkably, no book of colour photographs of Oxfordshire has ever been published, an extraordinary oversight when you consider the range of landscapes it encompasses and the historic importance of Oxford. But the county is much more than one city. From the Thames Valley and Vale of the White Horse in the south, east to the Chilterns, west to the Cotswolds, and north to Banbury and the Ironstone hills, Oxfordshire's diversity and rural charm is celebrated in over 200 photographs and a text by one of its most prominent historians.

The Geology of Oxfordshire~'Particularly good are the quality and range of the illustrations. Photographs in each chapter illustrate not only the quarries and sections where the rocks have been exploited and described, but representative fossils, examples of typical landscape features and scenery as well as notable buildings constructed from the rock types under consideration. The numerous maps and diagrams are also a model of simplicity and clarity. . . This is how to present a county-based geology for a broad audience!' Earth Heritage

Oxfordshire's geology is as fascinating as any in the British Isles, and an up-to-date, fully illustrated account of Oxfordshire's geological past. The rich variety of its landscapes derives from the character of the underlying rocks. The story of how those rocks originated is a journey through time and space, a journey of hundreds of millions of years across an Oxfordshire that has been hot desert, tropical rain-forest, coral sea, shallow lagoon and frozen waste.
