When Tom McCann arrived in Northern Ireland as a teenager he was in for a bit of a shock. The dark clouds and endless rainy weather, the straight-laced culture and the external rule based evangelical norms he found himself in were all so different from the balmy, sunny, care free days he left behind in Brazil. Nevertheless, life has a way of making you confront reality and over time he was forced to ask some very fundamental questions about himself and about what he believed. 
One night in his hunger for more he cried out to the Lord, “Surely you must have something more for me than this…Please show me what you want me to do with my life!” 
That cry was to take Tom on a journey of discovery to find answers to the questions that burned in his heart…” Is it possible to experience God’s presence and know His provision in daily life? How do you live beyond the realm of your own ability? Is such a life even possible?” 
In this dynamic book the author shares, from his own experience in business, how he found the reality of God to be more than he ever thought possible. He exposes the central obstacle that blocks our route into the enjoyment of His Presence and uncovers how we can “enter God’s rest” and live in a new dimension beyond our own ability and effort. 
Join Tom on his journey as he charts the route into a life of abiding intimacy and union with Jesus. This is where we encounter His Transforming Presence and His ability is released within us!

This book is a field guide that describes and explains the commonest minerals and rocks as well as introducing the most important fossil groups. In addition, a variety of geological structures are described and illustrated in the numerous diagrams and photographs. The guide is your perfect companion for hikes or walks in the countryside, inviting you to discover the geology hidden behind the landscapes surrounding us, as well as helping you to recognise the various minerals, rocks and fossils, you might encounter. Geology is a science that only really comes to life when we are outside, for example, on walks or hikes along the coast or through national parks. With a little knowledge you will be able to experience the landscape in a completely different way. The rocks will "come alive", so to speak, and you will be able to read their history like a book - understanding the range and complexity of geological processes which have formed the Earth beneath our feet. Such processes - an interplay of magmatism, tectonics, metamorphosis and sedimentation, as well as climate and sea-level change - have shaped the Earth over millennia and continue to do so even at the present time. The book is aimed at nature lovers of all types, as well as students of geology - in fact, anyone who is interested in the world around us. It will provide the perfect companion for walks or hikes in the countryside. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Pocket Guide Geologie im Gelände by Tom McCann, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The initial translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service&nbsp;DeepL.com). A subsequent detailed revision by the author ensures that the book reads stylistically like a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

Dieses Buch  lädt Sie ein, draußen im Gelände die Geologie hinter Landschaften und Gesteinen aufzuspüren  – ein idealer Zugang, um die vielseitigen und komplexen geologischen Prozesse zu verstehen, die im Wechselspiel von Magmatismus, Tektonik, Metamorphose, Klima und Sedimentation die heutige Erdoberfläche geformt haben. Gesteine und geologische Strukturen an der Erdoberfläche liefern die Schlüsselinformationen, die uns ermöglichen, die Abläufe im Bereich der Erdkruste und des oberen Mantels über die langen Zeiträume ihrer Entstehung nachzuvollziehen.  Tom McCann und Mario Valdivia-Manchego bieten einen anschaulichen Zugang zur geländeorientierten Analyse und Interpretation geologischer Prozesse . Ihr Ausgangspunkt ist dabei die genaue Geländebeobachtung. Die zahlreichen farbigen Grafiken und Aufschlussbildern erlauben, Strukturen anzusprechen und helfen, die geologischen Gegebenheiten zu erkennen und zu unterscheiden. Der Inhalt geht dabei weit über ein Mineral- und Gesteinsbestimmungsbuch hinaus, denn jeder Geländebeobachtung lassen sich ein oder auch mehrere Bildungsprozesse zuordnen, die letztlich zu einem raumzeitlichen Entstehungsmodell zusammengeführt werden. An diesen spannenden Schritt möchten die Autoren den Leser heranführen.  Das Buch ist für den Einsatz im Gelände gedacht und wendet sich einerseits an Studierende der geowissenschaftlichen Bachelor- und Master-Studiengänge, etwa als Hilfsmittel für die geowissenschaftliche Geländeaufnahme, andererseits an die geologisch interessierten Leser denen das Werk als Begleiter bei Ausflügen durch die Natur gute Dienste leisten wird.
