Superb value map!

Geological Map of the World - 1:32 000 000. 1010 x 1520 mm. Open University/Esso. 1994. A very clear and colourful map which demonstrates dramatically the distribution and ages of the rocks of the continental and oceanic crusts, and shows the differences in distribution patterns. Additional information includes diagrams showing the changing configuration of the continents over the past 500 million years, a small map of the world showing the main tectonic plates and a diagram showing the activity of oceanic tectonic plates, and some questions to test basic understanding of earth processes. This map is very useful for understanding and also teaching the evidence for the plate tectonic model. A very attractive map giving excellent value.
Price: paper £7-50, laminated £17-50, framed £85-00.

Regional Petroleum Geology of the World

This two volume book, comprising 1704 pages, contains contributions from 50 petroleum geologists working in companies or institutions all over the world - from Calgary to Manila, from Trinidad to Oslo and Madrid. The purpose of this book is to provide concise information on the petroleum geology of all continents and virtually all countries of the world. About half the contributions are in English, the rest in German. All figure captions are in both languages.

The articles describe all petroleum geologically relevant countries and are written mainly by regional specialists. They cover exploration history, production, reserves and remaining potential. They give a geological overview of the country, describe and discuss the sedimentary basins and particularly the petroleum systems (from source rock to oil or gas field). The contributions concentrate on all relevant areas and deal with all known petroleum habitats.

A detailed subject index in each volume permits the reader to find all regional and stratigraphic items dealt with. It includes names of oil and gas fields, formation names and some general terms (e.g. oil shale, tar sand, diapir).

"Regional Petroleum Geology of the World" is unique in its global coverage of petroleum occurrences and can be considered an encyclopaedia of regional petroleum geology. It contains a tremendous amount of maps, tables, profiles and geological sketches of all regions. Another benefit for the user of this publication is the great number of references included in the individual articles.

This book is recommended in particular to petroleum companies operating world-wide (from explorationists to management), petroleum geological consultants, universities and petroleum-related research institutions, geoscientists and their institutes, scientific libraries, economists.

Part I: Europe and Asia - 931 pages, 409 figs, 56 tables. £144-00

Part II: Africa, America, Australia and Antarctica - 729 pages, 345 figs, 26 tables, 1995. £117-00.
