A book for those interested in acquiring a concise and simplified yet comprehensive and in-depth general knowledge of geology, the science of the earth.

The authors, university instructors, with their well-known work for the general audience in the school book "Geology A' High School" (1985-1998), introduce the uninitiated reader to the fascinating world of geology and explore the fundamental functions of our living planet, from the level of satellite observation to that of sub-microscopic observation.

With processed texts in original writing and rich illustrations that complement the information, the rich philosophical, pedagogical, and practical content of geology is highlighted, making it a valuable educational asset for every thoughtful modern individual.

This is especially true for us Greeks, since our country serves as a true natural laboratory of geology in fervent operation and, at the same time, a significant natural museum of geology on a global scale.
