About the publisher
The Geological Publishing House is a central-level publisher grounded in earth science and land and resources publishing, and its name indicates its professional focus. Although only four titles are listed in the database, they reveal two clear publishing directions. The first is popular science for general readers, such as The Atlas of Unbelievable Places by Edward Brooke-Hitching, which uses maps to examine myths, lies and errors with both knowledge and entertainment value. The second is practical travel guides: the China Independent Travel series is compiled continuously by its editorial board, with colour upgraded editions released in 2017, 2018 and 2020, showing a rhythm of annual updating. Its common categories centre on popular science and travel, and its author resources include both translated international writers and local editorial teams, giving it a publishing character that balances professional expertise with general reading. As public information is limited, this introduction describes its publishing directions only on the basis of the titles in the database.
