Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Maps are the earth scientist's most fundamental tool. Accurate geological maps are the basis of geological work, in the field and in the laboratory. Students of geology must learn not only to understand them - but also how to construct them for themselves. This book introduces geological maps and mapping in a practical way. Abstract and idealistic treatments have been avoided and almost all the examples used are taken from real maps and real situations around the world. Use of three-dimensional diagrams and eight pages of colour maps coupled with up-to-date text will make this a useful book for all earth science students and will also be of interest to amateur geologists and geographers. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Burgundy thrives on the limestone remnants of a warm, shallow sea while Sancerre and Pouilly wrap their roots around flint. The finest Pomerols bloom in a 'button' of blue clay, and Beaujolais famously begins life in granite. Cabernet Sauvignon loves just about any sandstone and Champagne gets on gloriously with chalk. But is the secret to great port really schist? Alex Maltman, emeritus professor of earth sciences at Aberystwyth University, finds himself between a rock and a vineyard place as he explains how a wine's flavours relate to the geology at foot, and discovers that there is more to 'minerality' than mud, rocks and the earth's stark materials.Terroir is as intrinsic to the quality of a wine as the grapes it comes from or the intentions of the wine maker. This beautifully produced and illustrated book looks at the many factors that influence, or don't, how a wine tastes. Professor Maltman poses lots of questions and answers, while busting some myths along the way. Terroir is everything in modern wine appreciation. Geologist and professor, Alex Maltman looks at the rocks that make up key wine regions and what difference they make.

Hardback. Condición: New. Jurassic, basalt, moraine, flint, alluvial, magma: what are these words and what do they have to do with wine? The answers are here in this book. They are geological terms that reflect a bond between wine and the land. Understanding geology, however, is tricky. Geological concepts are obscure; processes can be imperceptibly slow, invisible, and unimaginably ancient. The terminology is formidable, such that even the names of common rocks carry an air of mystery. Geology is introduced plainly, starting with basic principles, all in the context of wine. The emphasis is on the kinds of processes that shape vineyards, and on the minerals, rocks and soils that host the vines. Geological words now commonly seen in wine writings are systematically explained. You will learn the stories behind some of the names, the human face of geology. The book also explores how the geology-wine connection manifests in the finished product and evaluates its importance, particularly in the contexts of minerality, terroir, and wine taste. The fact is that geology is increasingly being promoted in the world of wine; the aim here is to help it be properly understood.…
