The fifth edition of the Glossary of Geology contains nearly 40,000 entries including 3,600 new terms and nearly 13,000 entries with revised definitions from the previous edition. Additions and changes reflecting both advances in scientific thought and changes in usage make this 800+ page hardbound reference tool indispensable to professional earth scientists and students. In addition to definitions, many entries include aids to syllabication and background information. The Glossary draws its authority from the expertise of the more than 100 geoscientists in many specialties who have reviewed definitions and added new terms.

The scope of the glossary is geology and geophysics in the broadest annotation and reaches the interfaces with archeology, astrogeology, climatology, oceanography, and soil science.
EOS
A huge book... If what you want to know in terms of definitions or even short explanations is not here, then it is probably of such miniscule importance that it really doesn't matter anyway... highly recommended.
