Decent condition, excellent price

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 10, 2022

Verified Purchase

The book is a former library book that is, for the most part, in excellent condition. However, the back cover had 3 significant slices in it. I have ordered numerous used library books over the years and have never experienced this type of damage. I used to work in a library. When we prepared books for discard and possible resale, we would slice through the tags in the books but not all the way through the cover. The book is otherwise in very good condition and the price was excellent. My daughter was able to use book tape to mend the back cover so that I can use it without worrying about additional damage.

I've bought many of the Roadside Geology series through amazon, so this is going to be a boilerplate review. I bought the first book in the series when there was only one book, and enjoyed it immensely. The books are very readable, and many of the spots mentioned are worth a stop. A must have if you want to know what the rocks are without becoming a geologist.

I liked "Roadside Geology of Northern& Central California"

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 6, 2012

Verified Purchase

I liked "Roadside Geology of Northern and Central California" because it explains the most interesting features one can see while driving in California's many highways. One can either read ahead of a trip, or, if there are more than one person in the car, one of the passengers can read aloud while driving by a geologic feature.
We did the latter as a few days after receiving the book we purchased from Amazon, as we drove from the San Francisco area to LA.

The book selects the most interesting sections , all reachable from a highway or a minor road, and describes in detail what we can see. It does not give a comprehensive description of California's geology. For that one should get a different book.

I got this because it's a suggested book for a geology field trip class I'm taking. I tried to order it in a Barnes & Noble store to support a brick and mortar vendor, and they told me it was a "special" book that the publisher would only "print on order" and the conversation was so unhelpful and unappealing that I went ahead and ordered it through Amazon. It arrived very quickly and is very interesting. It's NOT really a travel guide type book, it's a little drier, but it's interesting.

Geology for Everyone

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 23, 2008

Verified Purchase

Road trips become much more interesting when you understand what you're seeing. This book provides many geologic insights into how the earth was formed and in particular the amazing geology of California and the Sierras. We used this book during our recent trip to Mono Lake, a video of which I posted on Youtube [...]. If you're at all curious about the world around you, buy this book!

Roadside geology

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 20, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a great book to have along when traveling around Northern and central California. It includes all of the main roads and some of the smaller routes. This book did miss out by not including highway 4 through the Sierra Nevada's.

One of the best books for geology aficionados

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 17, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a great book. It exceeded my expectations, as it provides clear explanations coupled with history facts and developments. The graphics are very clear; it provides the basic elements of geological analysis, and it shows the major locations in the area of study. I wish we had more books like this one.
