"The book is an excellent source of information on the applied
aspect of Earth sciences. In my opinion, the book is worth
reading, especially for those who are professional geologists,
geographers or geophysicists. They may be surprised by the
new, sometimes amazing applications of the methodology of their
well-known disciplines." (Geologos, November 2010)
