The geological structure of these regions, from the crystalline basement to the most recent soil formations, their structure and geological development, as well as their landscape features, which have so far only been available in a flood of individual publications, are described in detail. Hydrogeology, raw materials, and geotechnical and energy-related specifics are also taken into account. GPS coordinates allow for easy planning of subject-specific excursions. A comprehensive bibliography rounds off the volume, which is a complete revision of Trunko's much more narrowly defined volume. This book is aimed not only at geoscientists but also at all hikers and nature enthusiasts interested in the geology and landscape of Karlsruhe and its region.
