Examining in detail at least one amazing site for all fifty states,
Albert Dickas clearly explains the geologic forces behind each
one's origin in "101 Geologic Sites You've Gotta See." Dickas
discusses not only iconic landforms such as Devil's Tower in
Wyoming but also locales that are often overlooked yet have
fascinating stories. Consider the Reelfoot scarp in Tennessee: to
the casual observer it is nothing more than a slight rise in a farm
field. Yet this subtle slope represents a rift formed during an
1812 earthquake that forced the mighty Mississippi Island, which
actually caps an 8.5-mile-high column of salt. Amply illustrated
with full-color photographs and illustrations and written in clear
yet playful prose, 101 Geologic Sites You've Gotta See will
entertain and inform amateur and seasoned geology buffs whether
from an armchair or in the field.
