I purchased this book at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park visitors center a couple weeks ago. I like the book and it has some very useful information. To me, it was a good book, to my wife, she couldn't understand a thing the author was talking about (and she is a smart lady!). The reason for this is simple; I took a geology class at East Tennessee State University a few years ago, my wife did not. After thinking about this, I realized that the only reason I did understand the subject matter was because of my class. It is written in terms that most likely only someone who has a background in geology could appreciate, or comprehend for that matter. If you are really interested in the geology of the Great Smoky Mountain and you have some prior knowledge of this subject, buy the book, visit the locations the author talks about and it will increase your understanding of the area. If you have never taken a class in geology, this book probably will do you no good and may very well be a waste of money.
