Roadside Geology of Nebraska (Roadside Geology Series)

(3 customer reviews)

Nebraska's geology is as exciting as the Cornhuskers. The state hosts boiling riverbeds, puzzling fossil beds, and sandstone toadstools, not to mention a now dormant sea of sand that once moved fast enough to dam rivers; and these Sand Hills could be on the march again as the global climate warms. Changing climate influenced much of Nebraska's geology, from the waxing and waning of continental glaciers to the extinction of some of Nebraska's former inhabitants. You'll discover badlands, braided rivers, fossil rhinos entombed in volcanic ash, and the largest dune field in the Western Hemisphere.

Good Product but returned May 09, 2008
By Mary Gilroy
This is an excellent description of Nebraska geology. We have several books in this series, and we find them very informative, after you get used to the jargon. (We are not geologists!) We returned this because it was a duplicate gift.

Excellent Book on the Geology of Nebraska Jan 19, 2011
By Vicky in Omaha
This book will be ENJOYED by BOTH people who have a deep interest in Nebraska Geology and by people who love to do ROAD TRIPS & SIGHTSEEING in Nebraska. It highlights the main geological features to see when you travel thru the state, and the best part is that it tells you which HIGHWAYS lead to them! (With maps showing roads and geological features!) And it's in reader-friendly language too. And Great Photos! I do a lot of travelling & sight-seeing, plus, I'm a Geographer, so for me this book was a MUST HAVE.

I highly recommend it!
