      abstract = {Georgia's territory represents a real "natural geological  laboratory," exposing magmatic, metamorphic and sedimentary  rocks, ranging from the Neoproterozoic to the Quaternary.  After a brief presentation of Georgia's history and  culture, the authors present the stratigraphy, rock types  of individual tectonic zones of Georgia, their tectonic  structure and paleotectonic reconstructions of the  Caucasus. This book describes the three main geotourism  routes of Georgia meticulously: 1.  Tbilisi-Pasanauri-Kazbegi (along the Georgian Military  Road), 2. Tbilisi-Zugdidi-Mestia-Ushguli and 3.  Tbilisi-Khashuri-Vardzia, which cross different parts of  Fold Systems of the Greater and Lesser Caucasus and  Transcaucasian Intermountain area. The following potential  geoparks are described in this book: 1. Sataplia dinosaur  footprints together with Sataplia and Prometheus caves; 2.  Tskaltubo resort-town and mineral water deposit; 3. Borjomi  resort-town and mineral water deposit; 4. Kazbegi  Quaternary volcanoes and Keli volcanic highland;5. Dariali  Paleozoic granitoid massif; 6. Dmanisi hominids site and  the Mashavera gorge basaltic flow; 7. Dashbashi canyon; 8.  Uplistsikhe rock-cut town and Kvakhvreli cave complex; 9.  Udabno - Upper Miocene marine and continental deposits and  David Gareja monastery complex;10. Dedoplistskaro -  Vashlovani protected areas and mud volcanoes},
