Editorial Reviews

Review

"An impressive collection of 19 papers representing the current state of the art in Grand Canyon geological research. . . .A welcome and timely addition to the geologic literature. . . .Should certainly help to direct future geologic research in the Grand Canyon. . . .Draws on more than a century of geologic research in the Grand Canyon and provides the reader with a comprehensive, modern summary." --American Scientist

"It is a pleasure now to find an authoritative and up-to-date compilation, from the pens of twenty regional specialists, summarizing the results of present and past research. . . .Well organized. . . .The summary nature of the individual chapters of this book make it particularly suitable for use as a textbook for student groups using Grand Canyon for field study." --Journal of Geological Education --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description

This second edition of the leading book on Grand Canyon geology contains the most recent discoveries and interpretations of the origin and history of the canyon. It includes two entirely new chapters: one on debris flow in the Canyon and one on the impact of water flow releases from the Glen Canyon Dam. All chapters have been updated where necessary and all photographs have been replaced or re-screened for better resolution. Written by acknowledged experts in stratigraphy, paleontology, structural geology, geomorphology, volcanism and seismology, this book offers a wealth of information for geologists and general readers interested in acquiring an understanding of the geological history of this great natural wonder.

4.0 out of 5 stars Latest, most authoritative Grand Canyon geology., March 4, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Grand Canyon Geology (Hardcover)
This thick volume, with a host of diagrams and pictures, appears to be the newest and most thorough discussion of the geology of the Grand Canyon. In a series of chapters, each representing an era in the geologic history of the Canyon, the authors begin with the big picture and then get into such detail that only a professional geologist can really stay with them. The book represents the life work of some of the most prominent scientists associated with the Canyon, and yet is very much up to date with the latest theories unlocking the mystery of how the Canyon was formed. Neither professional nor "rock hound," I was drawn to geology through my hiking adventures in the Grand Canyon and the Colorado Plateau. This book, though certainly not written for the amateur, has provided an opportunity to learn more. I feel fortunate to have a copy, and hopeful that a second edition will be available soon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Important geologic coverage of a nat'l treasure, LOUSY photos, June 27, 2006
This review is from: Grand Canyon Geology (Hardcover)
Lucky for me, I bought the new HC edition for $10 rather than $85. Why? As another reviewer stated, this is the definitive single source on the geology of Grand Canyon--and it may be. But I can honestly report that the photos are not. Around 80% of the shots are of low to poor quality. And while no photo framed in a geology book can compare to the real thing (especially in the case of this natural wonder), buyers of this item will be puzzled by the junky photos selected. In fact, given the importance of this national treasure, a color panorama shot, a color aerial photo, and high quality B/Ws are a must.
