Roadside Geology of Colorado

Más información sobre el libro

This book is designed to give to Coloradoans and Colorado visitors, especially those with little or no geologic training but with an abiding interest and sense of excitement in their surroundings, a feeling for the long prehistory of Colorado. Colorado’s story, which begins not millions but billions of years ago, involves tremendous forces working deep within our earth.To avoid drowning the reader in a sea of names and facts the author has deliberately told Colorado’s story in simplified form, leaving out many geologic details and avoiding over-use of specalized geologic terms.
