Matthew Bennett is a research professor at Bournemouth University and has over twenty years' experience working as a geologist. His passion for landscape, and the rocks and landforms from which they are composed, comes from a childhood spent in Snowdonia. The book is illustrated by photographs taken by Matthew's father, Andrew. A former geography teacher turned politician, Andrew Bennett has spent much of his free time during the 40 years in Snowdonia, and his spectacular photographs enrich this book.
