      abstract = {This book is a field guide that describes and explains the  commonest minerals and rocks as well as introducing the  most important fossil groups. In addition, a variety of  geological structures are described and illustrated in the  numerous diagrams and photographs. The guide is your  perfect companion for hikes or walks in the countryside,  inviting you to discover the geology hidden behind the  landscapes surrounding us, as well as helping you to  recognise the various minerals, rocks and fossils, you  might encounter. The book is aimed at nature lovers of all  types, as well as students of geology. It will provide the  perfect companion on your excursions allowing the rocks to  "come alive" and to reveal their histories, as well as the  range and complexity of geological processes which have  formed the Earth beneath our feet. Such processes - an  interplay of magmatism, tectonics, metamorphosis and  sedimentation, as well as climate and sea-level change -  have shaped the Earth over millennia and continue to do so  even at the present time. This book is a translation of the  original German 1st edition Pocket Guide Geologie im  Gelande by Tom McCann, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH  Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The initial  translation was done with the help of artificial  intelligence (machine translation by the service  DeepL.com). A subsequent detailed revision by the author  ensures that the book reads stylistically like a  conventional translation. Springer Nature works  continuously to further the development of tools for the  production of books and on the related technologies to  support the authors. Tom McCann is Professor of  Sedimentology at the Institute for Geosciences and  Meteorology at the University of Bonn. He conducts research  on the development of sedimentary basins in Europe, Africa  and Asia and teaches sedimentology, basin analysis,  ichnology as well as historical geology},
