Reviews

From the reviews: This book is the 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)

“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)
