Reviews
"If there is one thing that Oxford University Press can produce better than any other publisher, it's a dictionary. This dictionary would be an important supplement to any Earth Science course or related discipline, but is also written so that someone without prior knowledge can be easily introduced to the field. A concise, informative and attractive book that attempts to cover every aspect of Earth Science for the modern world."--The Astrobiology Society of Britain

"I marvel at how the editors have compressed so much so clearly"--Nature (review for previous edition)
"Can really claim to offer comprehensive coverage of the earth sciences"--Times Educational Supplement (review for previous edition)
