Roadside Geology of New Jersey (Roadside Geology Series)
Now retired from long service with the New Jersey Geological Survey and the New Jersey Site Remediation Program, Harper offers road guides for trips that will take general readers, avid amateurs, students, and professionals to sites illustrating the geology of the places. After a quick trip through the past 2.5 billion years, he takes the geological regions in turn. There is the Newark Basin with basalt, sedimentary rock, and glacial lakes; the highlands and valley and ridge forming gaps through the hard rock; and pinelands, beaches, and marches of the coastal plain. Informative and colorful maps, photographs, and diagrams are provided. --Book News, Inc.
