Editorial Review Product Description · Newest addition to the popular Hiking Geology series Etched on the Grand Canyon’s steep walls are stories of how this majestic landscape came to be: volcanic islands, stark deserts, and tranquil seas come and gone, and histories of plants and animals that have made this place their home. You’ll read this story up close on the trail with the help of Hiking the Grand Canyon’s Geology. In 18 excursions, there’s something for everyone: from the most popular rim-to-river trails (Havasu Canyon Trail) to gentle, half-day rim walks (Red Butte Trail) to rugged and remote, multi-day backpack trips (Lava Falls Route).

Don't just Hike - Experience!
Fantastic Reference
Outstanding Intro to Geology--Plus Hiking Info. It is rare to find a book which transcends its specific topic as this one does.Even my nine-year old was fascinated by the vivid descriptions of the forming of the major features of the North American landscape, the formation and break-up of Rodinia, Pangea, etc., and the many, many layers of history present (and not present!) in the fantastic artwork the Colo. River has carved for all to experience first hand. I have not "road-tested" this book for its specific hiking information.However, I can certainly certainly recommend the book based on its geological and earth history content alone. ... Read more |

Davis Third Edition Review
Excellent Discussion of Multivariate Statistics Davis provides achapter on matrix algebra, emphasizing the mathematical operations thatunderlie trend surface analysis, principal components, and discriminantfunctions. I found his geometric approach to eigenvalues and eigenvectorsto be more intuitive than traditional algebraic approaches found in mostlinear algebra texts.I also like the discussion on determinants.Isuspect that a reader unfamiliar with matrices and linear algebra mightfind this introduction to be too concise and a bit overwhelming.But as areview, the chapter was really quite good. More than 350 pages aredevoted to the final three chapters - Analysis of Sequence Maps, MapAnalysis, and Analysis of Multivariate Data.These three chapters providean exceptional discussion of advanced statistical techniques. Themathematics are well explained and the techniques are described in detail,including pitfalls in the mis-application of the various statisticalmethods. My copy (14th printing, first edition) includes a section onFortran IV programming and scatters some Fortran examples across variouschapters.While this feature somewhat dates the text, it is at most adistraction and can easily be skipped without any loss of understanding ofthe statistical methods.The Fortran sections may not have been retainedin the second edition (1986). This newer edition apparently providesupdated coverage on probability, non-parametric statistics, and Fourieranalysis and adds coverage of kriging methods. In recent years more bookson geostatistics have appeared and some are quite good.However, I havenoted that the Davis text is invariably included on a short reading listfor graduate geostatistics courses. My only concern is that this text hasbecome increasingly difficult to locate.I give it five stars. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Now in full colour, the third edition of this well established book provides a readable and highly illustrated overview of the aspects of geology that are most significant to civil engineers. Sections in the book include those devoted to the main rock types, weathering, ground investigation, rock mass strength, failures of old mines, subsidence on peats and clays, sinkholes on limestone and chalk, water in landslides, slope stabilization and understanding ground conditions. The roles of both natural and man-induced processes are assessed, and this understanding is developed into an appreciation of the geological environments potentially hazardous to civil engineering and construction projects. For each style of difficult ground, available techniques of site investigation and remediation are reviewed and evaluated. Each topic is presented as a double page spread with a careful mix of text and diagrams, with tabulated reference material on parameters such as bearing strength of soils and rocks. This new edition has been comprehensively updated and covers the entire spectrum of topics of interest for both students and practitioners in the field of civil engineering. Customer Reviews (2)

Readable and Informative
wonderful explanations for the layman
Invaluable Info for Locals and Travellers
Thoroughly Intriguing!
Wonderful Ticket to Adventure The book starts with a five page description of Eastern California's geological history, then jumps into 30 sites of interest, nearly evenly distributed between Death Valley & vicinity and the Eastern Sierra & vicinity. A glossary, "Sources of Supplementary Information," and an index round out the book. Each site receives its own chapter, replete with photographs, maps, geological diagrams, and even driving directions, as needed. I'm not a serious geologist, but landscape features fascinate me. The explanations that the authors give work well for me: I can understand them well enough to explain them to children. If you're interested in how the land has been shaped, if you're willing to turn off the tube & make contact with the natural world, then this book is for you. One of the best "field guides" to geology I own. One of my favorites, too. (The companion volume, GEOLOGY UNDERFOOT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, is also an excellent book). ... Read more |

The classic manual of the techniques of field geology The manual is organised as follows: 1) Observing and Collecting Data and Samples, 2) Using the Compass, Clinometer, and Hand Level, 3) The Compass Traverse, 4) Plotting Geologic Features on a Base Map, 5) Mapping Geologic Features on Aerial Photographs, 6) The Alidade and Plane Table, 7) Control for Geologic Maps, 8) Geologic Mapping with the Alidade and Plane Table, 9) Making a Geologic Map from Aerial Photographs, 10) Detailed Mapping and Sampling, 11) Preparing Geologic Reports, 12) Field Work with Sedimentary Rocks, 13) Field Work with Volcanic Rocks, 14) Field Work with Igneous and Igneous-appearing Plutonic Rocks, and Field Work with Metamorphic Rocks. The appenixes include 1) check lists of equipment and supplies (you do not want to be in the middle of the mountains or desert and discover that you forgot something vital), 2) standard field note abbreviations (other people have to be able to decipher those field notes), 3) percentage estimation charts, 4) geologic map symbols, 5)lithologic symbols for cross sections, 6) an isogonic chart for compass correction, and 7) trig tables. If you can master these skills then you are competent to do theinitial geologic field work from the Gobi Desert to Antarctica to...Mars. If you haven't mastered most of these skills, then you aren't really a Geologist. This book should be thoroughly read at least once BEFORE you get to field camp. ... Read more |
