Abstract
Giants Causeway, Grand Canyon, Giant Geode of Pulpi, Moreno Glacier, Finger of God, Devil’s Marbles, Stone Forest, Wave Rock. These are all rocks and they are all tourism attractions. That is the theme of this book: geological tourism. Of its 27 contributors, all but three are principally geologists, and their chapters focus on geological features rather than on tourists, tour companies, or tourism infrastructure. Several also emphasize the role of tours in educating the public, particularly school children, about geology.
