Chapter 1. Geosites in Eastern Utah, USA -- Chapter 2. The Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA -- Chapter 3. The Kruger National Park, South Africa -- Chapter 4. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania -- Chapter 5. Palaeoanthropological Sites of Oldupai Gorge and Laetoli, Tanzania -- Chapter 6. The Skaergaard Intrusion, Greenland -- Chapter 7. The Lake District, Northern England -- Chapter 8. Italian Island Volcanoes and Mediterranean Basins -- Chapter 9. Neapolitan Volcanism and Tectonism -- Chapter 10. The Cappadocia World Heritage Site, Central Turkey -- Chapter 11. Historical Sites of Western Turkey -- Chapter 12. Pamukkale and Hierapolis, Western Turkey -- Chapter 13. Classical Sites of Mainland Greece -- Chapter 14. Santorini, Greece.

This book describes famous geosites and historical localities in national parks and conservation areas from North America, East Africa, and Europe. The geosites include iconic landforms associated with active volcanoes, canyons, glaciated landscapes, natural rock monoliths, and rifts. The potential for geotourism in historical localities such as the famous Greco-Roman antiquities of Greece, Italy, and Turkey, is emphasised. Some of the geosites and historical localities provide evidence that previous civilizations coped with active geology and major climatic cycles, whilst others reveal evidence of famous geological events recognized in history and ancient mythology that helped shape our current civilization. The book assists tour guides and visitors (both geologists and non-specialists) interested in geotourism by providing an understanding of geological processes in the national parks and historical locations with the assistance of photographs and simplified geological maps.
