Rock Hound Holiday

Give a geology buff a blank check and tell him to plan a dream vacation in the US. Chances are he'll pick one of the five locales highlighted in this 2003 offering form the National Geographic Society. We visit Hawai'i's Mountains of Fire, Alaska'a Rivers of Ice, California's Yosemite Jewel, Utah's Dinosaur Country, and Maine's Rocky Coast. The colors are particularly vibrant in the customarily excellent National Geographic photos. This volume is part of the National Geographic's Special Publications Series, one of the best-kept secrets in the world of books. Since 1966 the Society had released four titles per year. The same size and shape as their iconic magazine, these hardcovers present the best that National Geographic has to offer, and without the ads! Authors have included such scientific luminaries as Isaac Asimov, Bob Ballard, Jane Goodall and Louis Leakey.
