The Society publishes books within occasional series, and also one-off titles. Brief details of recently active series are given below.
Special Reports
These are commissioned by the Stratigraphy Commission and comprise mostly Correlation Charts for each Series within the UK. The Stratigraphy Commission are currently working on the Revised Correlations, and hope to complete those shortly.
Professional Handbooks
These books offer guidance on practical aspects of the Earth Sciences and appeal to geoscientists working in both academia and industry. There are currently only two volumes in this series and we would be pleased to discuss ideas for further volumes.
Authors will be sent instructions for production of their volume on acceptance.
Rock-Forming Minerals
This famous series, edited by Professors Deer, Howie and Zussman was acquired by the Geological Society in 1997. This is a finite series and is not open to speculative proposals. The Society was not able to acquire the student textbook, Introduction to Rock-Forming Minerals.
Earth in View
This series covers subjects of topical interest to a non-specialist audience. We are not actively commissioning books in this series, but if you have an idea for such a volume, please contact the
Commissioning Editor.
Non-series titles
Our focus is in acquiring volumes for our main books series, but we will consider books that do not fit comfortably within one of those series. Read further information on
submitting a book proposal.
