This concise handbook presents a summary of Earth's history over the past 4.5 billion years as well as a brief overview of contemporaneous events on the Moon, Mars and Venus. The authors have been at the forefront of chronostratigraphic research and initiatives to create an international geologic time scale for many years, and the charts in this book present the most up to date, international standard, as ratified by the International Commission on Stratigraphy and the International Union of Geological Sciences. This book is an essential reference for all geoscientists, including researchers, students, and petroleum and mining professionals. The presentation is non-technical and illustrated with numerous colour charts, maps and photographs. The book also includes a detachable laminated card of the complete time scale for use as a handy reference in the office, laboratory or field.

Industry Reviews

Reviews of A Geological Time Scale 2004 by Gradstein, Ogg and Smith (winner of the Mary B. Ansari Best Reference Work Award from the Geoscience Information Society): 'The publication of A Geologic Time Scale 2004, written by an international team of 40 scientists, is a milestone in our understanding of that past, and sets the standard in stratigraphy.' New Scientist 'One cannot help being struck by the amount of information in this volume ... a triumph of scholarship, that will serve the profession and the public well.' Episodes 'The book is an inspiring leader in practical stratigraphy, its philosophical roots, and its prime product: The Geologic Time Scale. It is a very important publication for graduate scholars, scientists, and sedimentologists, hydrogeologists, and petroleum geologists.' Environmental Geology 'The editors have succeeded admirably in compiling a work that is dense with information but is both beautiful in layout and extremely readable ... The book is a masterpiece of presentation ... an amazing work that provides a new standard for both geochronology, and for committee-driven scientific project reports.' The Leading Edge 'This is a volume that should be in all good geological libraries.' Geological Magazine
