520 The first book to focus exclusively on the subject,
Geodiversity, Second Edition describes the
interrelationships between geodiversity and biodiversity,
the value of geodiversity to society, as well as current
threats to its existence. Illustrated with global case
studies throughout, the book examines traditional
approaches to protecting geodiversity and the new
management agenda now being implemented. The Second
Edition of this successful textbook continues to build on
the success of the first edition which is still the
standard reference for the subject. Fully revised and
updated throughout, the Second Edition now includes new
material on geoparks, geotourism and implications of
climate change for geoconservation. Reviews of previous
edition: "Murray Gray's new book is the first widely
available text to bring together and analyse some of these
emerging ideas….The result is a book that should be in
the library of every land manager and one that is likely
to lead many practicing geoscientists and quaternarists to
a new view of the importance of their field for nature
conservation and environmental management… (Journal of
Quaternary Science, Vol.19, No.8, December 2004) "It is
strange that it is necessary to justify the importance of
geodiversity…. Murray Gray does it with brilliance, not
only to convince 'non-believers', but giving inspiration
to us that have worked in geoconservation for a long time"
(ProGEO News, 3 & 4, 2003) "...The author provides a
timely review of recent advances in the integration of
geodiversity into wider conservation and planning
strategies..." …." (Journal of Quaternary Science, Vol.19
, No.8, December 2004) "...the book is well-written and
follows a clear and concise outline." (Environmental
Geology, Vol. 48, No. 2, July 2005)
