Geologi - stein, mineraler, fossiler og olje

This is a general book on geology, covering the basics in the Norwegian language. It represents a supplement to more comprehensive texts in English that may easily throw Norwegian novices off. Besides, it gives the reader insight into the Norwegian geo-terminology and makes the subject more familiar through its extensive use of examples from Scandinavia. An unpublished English version exists that I use for English-language introductory courses in geology.
