Geology and America's National Park Areas [Facsimile]

Editorial Reviews
The publisher, Prentice-Hall Engineering/Science/Mathematics
Unique in approach, this text provides a general introduction to geology -- with examples drawn almost exclusively from the U.S. National Parks, national monuments, and a number of other park areas under the jurisdiction of the U.S. National Park Service. In doing so, it provides an overview of the U.S. geological setting and introduces basic concepts of physical geology -- together with some historical geology and interesting cultural areas not covered in other similar texts.
