Encompassing 177 sites across 46 countries, UNESCO Geoparks are places with outstanding geology and landscape, where there are strong local efforts to make the most of Earth heritage through interpretation, education, conservation and tourism. Utilizing world-class images, the title will highlight the geoparks' stunning beauty while taking the reader on an entertaining and insightful journey that unravels the mystique behind each site.

When did the location become a recognized park? What makes it special? Why is it worth preserving? How might it look 100 years from now when the ravages of climate change and global warming have taken hold? We impart knowledge through fleshed out texts that are both authoritative and digestible for the layman.

Fun facts, dos and don'ts, and geotourism guides ensure the content remains agile and engaging throughout, helping lay bare the jaw-dropping scale of each bucket-list destination. From the importance of rocks, minerals and fossils to the study of volcanology, this is a book that sets out to showcase nature in its rawest, most glorious form, doing so in an aesthetically worthy way.
