If you are planning a trip through Nebraska and have an interest in geology, give a reading to Roadside Geology Of Nebraska for a truly memorable experience!

This is an excellent description of Nebraska geology. We have several books in this series, and we find them very informative, after you get used to the jargon. (We are not geologists!) We returned this because it was a duplicate gift.

This book will be ENJOYED by BOTH people who have a deep interest in Nebraska Geology and by people who love to do ROAD TRIPS & SIGHTSEEING in Nebraska. It highlights the main geological features to see when you travel thru the state, and the best part is that it tells you which HIGHWAYS lead to them! (With maps showing roads and geological features!) And it's in reader-friendly language too. And Great Photos! I do a lot of travelling & sight-seeing, plus, I'm a Geographer, so for me this book was a MUST HAVE.

I highly recommend it!
