註釋"Western Australia covers a third of the continent of Australia with rocks ranging in age from the most ancient (close to 3.75 billion years old) to those forming along the coastline at present. In this book Tony Cockbain has drawn together the various strands of geology covering the period from 100 Ma to the present - these include Australia's split from Antarctica, four sedimentary depositional cycles between the Paleocene and the Holocene, the formation of giant iron ore deposits by regolith processes, Western Australia's seismic and earthquake history, and the precious water resources of a dry and thirsty State. Geologists and enquiring readers will enjoy dipping into this book to learn about the recent geological events that have shaped and are still shaping Western Australia"--Back cover.
