The Geology of Australia
For a single author to cover such a huge range of information is a considerable undertaking. Johnson has taken the opportunity of this new edition to update information and improve the balance of topics by upgrading the sections on palaeontology and climate change.  The abundant illustrations are invariably of high quality and range from colour photos of sites, rocks and fossils to maps, cross-sections and diagrams plus plenty of other black and white illustrations from numerous sources, all carefully listed at the back, along with a very full and useful bibliography and index. The production quality is  high and although already 348 pages long, the book is not unwieldy and could reasonably be expanded somewhat in future editions. For students and other geologists who are not familiar with the geology of Australia this is an ideal starting place." - Douglas Palmer, Geological Magazine
