Book Synopsis Geologic Folio Red Rock Canyon Open Space Colorado Springs, Colorado by : Ken Weissenburger
Download or read book Geologic Folio Red Rock Canyon Open Space Colorado Springs, Colorado written by Ken Weissenburger and published by Uncompahgre Press. This book was released on 2019-12-03 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beware, this 300-page book is education in entertainment-clothing! The richly illustrated 8.5x11-inch volume presents a comprehensible blend of history and geology from Red Rock Canyon Open Space in Colorado Springs. There is something here for a wide audience; a family from Florida who homeschool purchased the very first copy. Red Rock Canyon Open Space is a 2003 addition to the Colorado Springs park system. The authors draw forth threads of history and geology that follow hundreds of millions of years of Earth history as well as the settlement and industrialization of the Pikes Peak Region. Here is the backstory of the park, from dinosaurs and ancient sand dunes to gold mills and Denver Capitol Hill mansions. The book covers exploration and mapping, geology of Red Rock Canyon (and Colorado Springs), quarrying and mining, and historic buildings built with Red Rock stone. Red Rock Canyon Open Space is one of the many locations in the Pikes Peak Region where geology can be seen in the field. Another feature of the book is a scattering of Adult-Kid activities, thought-provoking challenges to be shared by adults and children using the book and, especially, visiting the park. With this book, the authors help make geology more understandable and interesting to the inquisitive visitor, thereby enriching their experience with Red Rock Canyon Open Space.

Book Synopsis Assembling California by : John McPhee
Download or read book Assembling California written by John McPhee and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At various times in a span of fifteen years, John McPhee made geological field surveys in the company of Eldridge Moores, a tectonicist at the University of California at Davis. The result of these trips is Assembling California, a cross-section in human and geologic time, from Donner Pass in the Sierra Nevada through the golden foothills of the Mother Lode and across the Great Central Valley to the wine country of the Coast Ranges, the rock of San Francisco, and the San Andreas family of faults. The two disparate time scales occasionally intersect—in the gold disruptions of the nineteenth century no less than in the earthquakes of the twentieth—and always with relevance to a newly understood geologic history in which half a dozen large and separate pieces of country are seen to have drifted in from far and near to coalesce as California. McPhee and Moores also journeyed to remote mountains of Arizona and to Cyprus and northern Greece, where rock of the deep-ocean floor has been transported into continental settings, as it has in California. Global in scope and a delight to read, Assembling California is a sweeping narrative of maps in motion, of evolving and dissolving lands.
Book Synopsis Vertebrate Paleontology in Utah by : David D. Gillette
Download or read book Vertebrate Paleontology in Utah written by David D. Gillette and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 1999 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 52 papers in this vary in content from summaries or state-of-knowledge treatments, to detailed contributions that describe new species. Although the distinction is subtle, the title (Vertebrate Paleontology in Utah) indicates the science of paleontology in the state of Utah, rather than the even more ambitious intent if it were given the title “Vertebrate Paleontology of Utah” which would promise an encyclopedic treatment of the subject. The science of vertebrate paleontology in Utah is robust and intense. It has grown prodigiously in the past decade, and promises to continue to grow indefinitely. This research benefits everyone in the state, through Utah’s muse ums and educational institutions, which are the direct beneficiaries.
Book Synopsis Geology of the San Francisco Bay Region by : Doris Sloan

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You can't really know the place where you live until you know the shapes and origins of the land around you. To feel truly at home in the Bay Area, read Doris Sloan's intriguing stories of this region's spectacular, quirky landscapes."—Hal Gilliam, author of Weather of the San Francisco Bay Region "This is a fascinating look at some of the world's most complex and engaging geology. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in an understanding of the beautiful landscape and dynamic geology of the Bay Area."—Mel Erskine, geological consultant "This accessible summary of San Francisco Bay Area geology is particularly timely. We are living in an age where we must deal with our impact on our environment and the impact of the environment on us. Earthquake hazards, and to a lesser extent landslide hazards, are well known, but the public also needs to be aware of other important engineering and environmental impacts and geologic resources. This book will allow Bay Area residents to make more intelligent decisions about the geological issues affecting their lives."—John Wakabayashi, geological consultant
