My immediate impression is that this gracefully spectacular book would
made a fine Christmas present. If you know anyone interested in
landscapes, nature, photography or geology, you could hardly do better
than to gift a copy of
Aerial Geology is an up-in-the-sky exploration of
North America’s 100 most spectacular geological formations.
Crisscrossing the continent from the Aleutian Islands in
Alaska to the Great Salt Lake in Utah and to the Chicxulub
Crater in Mexico, Mary Caperton Morton brings you on a
fantastic tour, sharing aerial and satellite photography,
explanations on how each site was formed, and details on
what makes each landform noteworthy. Maps and diagrams help
illustrate the geological processes and clarify scientific
concepts.
Fact-filled, curious, and way more fun
than the geology you remember from grade school, Aerial
Geology is a must-have for the insatiably curious,
armchair geologists, million-mile travelers, and anyone who
has stared out the window of a plane and wondered what was
below.
