Reviews

'The Early Journals provide a very clear view of the young Glossop, and I found the sections on his time in Africa and his activities during the Second World War particularly fascinating. - a thoroughly engaging read and room is left for a few entertaining social digressions. - I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the often highly personal insights that it affords the reader. This book comes highly recommended to all who have an interest in our profession - ' Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology
