It presents a series of problem-solving exercises that include step-by-step instructions on what observations to make in order to find a solution. These increase in difficulty and cover the spectrum of field skills that a first or second year undergraduate needs to master. The exercises include many of the more interesting aspects of Arran's geological history and also introduce some of the fundamental concepts behind the science and the people responsible for them, such as James Hutton and Charles Lyell. This approach injects greater flexibility into teaching and assessing progress in learning.
