Geologic History of the Feather River Country, Cal

Made In USA

Although the Sierra Nevada range is a fairly simple fault block mountain system in most folks' minds, the details of its evolution over millions of years are quite complex and interesting. Cordell is a long-time student of these mountains, especialy the northern terminus. The book is intended for the general reader and begins with an introduction to some basic geologic premises. Most of the text is about the area of the title and will be of interest to anyone residing in or visiting the area. The illustrations are numerous and include drawings and photos. Recommended for libraries in the region. R.G. Schipf, Univ. of Montana Lib., Missoula Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.
