This volume provides a fascinating account of the natural forces which shaped the Island's landscape from its formation some 500 million years ago to the present nature of the Manx environment and landscape. The story of the island's colonisation by plants and animals sets the scene for the later volumes which deal with the impact of man's arrival. A key element of the volume is an in depth examination of the contemporary landscape, with an appraisal of how the environment has affected man and how man has affected the environment.

Excerpt from The Geologic Story of Isle Royale National Park Isle Royale is an outstanding example of relatively undisturbed northwoods lake wilderness. But more than simple preservation of such an environment is involved in its inclusion in our National Park System. Its isola tion from the mainland provides an almost untouched laboratory for re search in the natural sciences, espe cially those studies whose very nature depends upon such isolation.

This field guide to important geological locations describes the geology and volcanic significant at 39 stops on Oahu. It included a short introduction on how Hawaiian hotspot shield volcanoes formed and emerged from the sea floor. This is followed by the most current understanding of how the island of Oahu formed during the past 5 million years. This guidebook is a travel companion for residents and visitors alike that can easily be carried while you drive and hike to the many locations to see first-hand some of the mysteries geologists have uncovered as you explore our magical island. You will explore the geology of Oahu visiting numerous world-class locations and see many volcanic landforms present at our most informative geological locations. Following the overview of the geology and descriptions of the volcanic rock types found on Oahu we provide a brief overview of the typical life and demise of a Hawaiian hotspot volcano (Chapter 3) and an overview of Oahu's three main shield volcanoes (Chapter 4). Chapters 5 through 8 include the 39 stops depicted by detailed satellite images, topographic maps, high-quality photographs, plots, and illustrative figures that describe what you are looking at as you drive, hike, boat, canoe, walk to these readily accessible locations at your leisure.
