Having read "Our Restless Earth" by E. Luther, and having just completed a course in geology, I found "A Geologic Trip..." to be the perfect source document for increasing my knowledge of geology. Harry Moore takes you to a site, describes the geology, and gives explicit directions to locate examples of the geology at each site. This book is a must for any amateur paleontologist or geologist, and anyone who has the opportunity to travel I-40 across Tennessee. The book is organized with sidetrips as well, complete with mileage references, and descriptions of what you are viewing at each checkpoint. Mr. Moore has included numerous photos, maps and figures to flesh out what is a very entertaining book, and having read any part of the book, the reader will want to get on the road to visit the locations described.

For anyone who is into Geology,rocks and minerals, this is the book for you. It is a little old but the information is still accurate. Also has some great trips for those who wish to explore Tennessee

dry read; gave it to my brother who is a geologist. i think he uses it as a paperweight. sorry to the author.
