Basin
and Range
by John McPhee
One of the most valuable tools for the advancement of geological science
has in fact been the humble road cut. United States Interstate 80 crosses
the entire North American continent, in the process exposing hundreds of
millions of years of geological history. In Basin and Range, McPhee, accompanied
at times by Princeton geologist Kenneth S. Dreyfuss, demonstrates how the
contorted and tilted rocks seen in these road cuts reveal how islands of
the earth's crust have floated across the earth's surface, crashing and
folding to form basin and range. This is a masterful and sometimes even
poetic volume of popular writing about plate tectonics, communicating the
profound satisfaction of using scientific research as a tool for understanding
the world around us. This is the first of four books on North American
geology by McPhee, collectively entitled Annals
of the Former World. The other volumes are In
Suspect Terrain, Rising from the Plains,
and Assembling California. - Amazon.com

Geology
by Larry Thomas
Book Description: The solar system is not akin to a well-oiled machine
whose parts move smartly along prescribed paths. It has always been--and
continues to be--a messy place in which gravity wreaks havoc. Moons form,
asteroids and comets crash into planets, ice ages commence, and dinosaurs
disappear. By describing the dramatic consequences of such disturbances,
this fascinating book reveals the fundamental interconnectedness of the
solar system--and what it means for life on its most interesting planet.

The
Map That Changed the World: William Smith and the Birth of Modern Geology
by Simon Winchester
Once upon a time there lived a man who discovered the secrets of the
earth. He traveled far and wide, learning about the world below the surface.
After years of toil, he created a great map of the underworld and expected
to live happily ever after. But did he? Simon Winchester (The Professor
and the Madman) tells the fossil-friendly fairy tale life of William Smith
in The Map That Changed the World.
Born to humble parents, Smith was also a child of the Industrial Revolution
(the year of his birth, 1769, also saw Josiah Wedgwood open his great factory,
Etruria, Richard Arkwright create his first water-powered cotton-spinning
frame, and James Watt receive the patent for the first condensing steam
engine). While working as surveyor in a coal mine, Smith noticed the abrupt
changes in the layers of rock as he was lowered into the depths. He came
to understand that the different layers--in part as revealed by the fossils
they contained--always appeared in the same order, no matter where they
were found. He also realized that geology required a three-dimensional
approach. Smith spent the next 20 some years traveling throughout Britain,
observing the land, gathering data, and chattering away about his theories
to those he met along the way, thus acquiring the nickname "Strata Smith."
In 1815 he published his masterpiece: an 8.5- by 6-foot, hand-tinted map
revealing "A Delineation of the Strata of England and Wales." Despite this
triumph, Smith's road remained more rocky than smooth. Snubbed by the gentlemanly
Geological Society, Smith complained that "the theory of geology is in
the possession of one class of men, the practice in another." Indeed, some
members of the society went further than mere ostracism--they stole Smith's
work. These cartographic plagiarists produced their own map, remarkably
similar to Smith's, in 1819. Meanwhile the chronically cash-strapped Smith
had been forced to sell his prized fossil collection and was eventually
consigned to debtor's prison. In the end, the villains are foiled, our
hero restored, and science triumphs. Winchester clearly relishes his happy
ending, and his honey-tinged prose ("that most attractively lovable lobsterlike
Paleozoic arthropod known as the trilobite") injects a lot of life into
what seems, on the surface, a rather dry tale. Like Smith, however, Winchester
delves into the strata beneath the surface and reveals a remarkable world.

The
Path of the Pole
by Charles H. Hapgood
Book Description: Hapgood's tour de force is back in print! This riveting
account of how Earth's poles have flipped positions many times is the culmination
of Hapgood's extensive research of Antarctica, ancient maps and the geological
record. This amazing book discusses the various pole shifts in Earth's
history-occurring when Earth's crust slips in the inner core-and gives
evidence for each one. It also predicts future pole shifts: a planetary
alignment will cause the next one on May 5, 2000! Packed with illustrations,
this book is the reference other books on the subject cite over and over
again. With millennium madness in full swing, this is just the book to
generate even more excitement at the unknown possibilities.

Windows
into the Earth: The Geologic Story of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National
Parks
by Robert B. Smith, Lee J. Siegel
Book Description: Millions of years ago, the North American continent
was dragged over the world's largest continental hotspot, a huge column
of hot and molten rock rising from the Earth's interior that traced a 50-mile
wide, 500-mile-long path northeastward across Idaho. Generating cataclysmic
volcanic eruptions and large earthquakes, the hotspot helped lift the Yellowstone
Plateau to more than 7,000 feet and pushed the northern Rockies to new
heights, creating the jewel of the U.S. national park system: Yellowstone.
Meanwhile, forces stretching apart the western U.S. created the mountainous
glory of Grand Teton National Park. Smith and Siegel offer expert guidance
through this awe-inspiring terrain, bringing to life the grandeur of these
geologic phenomena as they reveal the forces that have shapedand continue
to shapethe greater Yellowstone-Teton region. Over seventy illustrations,
including fifty-two in full color, illuminate the beauty of the landscape,
while two final chapters provide driving tours of the parks to help visitors
enjoy and understand the region's wonders.
