Reviews

“The book by Woo et al. is a true success! lt will be an excellent gift to everyone in geoscience … . Professionals in geoconservation and geotourism will judge it very instructive. Students of general geology and their lecturers will find this book enriching and useful for understanding/demonstration of some basic ideas.” (Dmitry A. Ruban, Zentralblatt für Geologie und Paläontologie, Vol. 2015 (3-4), December, 2016)


“This book isthe initiation of a new approach to bring together many apparently separate concepts, views, and studies in a practical way that is of benefit for all the components of the environment that all humans are part of. … the book is recommended not only for people interested directly in geoparks or geotourism, but also for anyone interested in a holistic approach to the awareness of an environmental culture.” (Javier Agustin-Flores, Bulletin of Volcanology, Vol. 76, 2014)
