Editors: Eldridge M. Moores and F. Michael Wahl
Inspired by the beautiful geologic photos on the covers of the GSA journal Geology, this volume reproduces many of these cover photos, augmented by numerous fine new additions. Some 250 full-color photos are presented in 70 photo essays that explore unusual and interesting geologic views from around the world. These pictures, taken by dozens of earth scientists while they work, were selected from among hundreds submitted. Photos are accompanied by brief texts edited for nonscientists, although scientists will certainly find the volume interesting—especially for explaining geologic forms and concepts to friends and family. Each photo essay features one or more large-format picture accompanied by smaller, supplementary views.
