{"product_id":"set-in-stone-1","title":"Set In Stone","description":"The land that was to become Scotland has travelled across the globe over the last 3,000 million years - from close to the South Pole to its current position. During these travels, there were many continental collisions, creating mountain belts as high as the present-day Himalayas. The Highlands of Scotland were formed in this way. Our climate too has changed dramatically over the last 3 billion years from the deep freeze of the Ice Age to scorching heat of the desert. And within a relatively short time - geologically speaking, we will plunge back into another ice age.In Set in Stone, Alan McKirdy traces Scotland''s amazing geological journey, explaining for the non - specialist reader why the landscape looks the way it does todays. He also explores Scots and those working in Scotland have played a seminal role in the development of the science of geology, understanding Earth processes at a local and global scale.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57312182043006,"sku":"NW9781780271514","price":11.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781780271514.jpg?v=1779861884","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/set-in-stone-1","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
