Tales of a Little Known Geologist

By William Connelly

Many don't think of scientists as adventurers. Some don't think of geologists as scientists (e.g., ask Sheldon Cooper of Big Bang Theory). But rest assured, geologists can be both scientists and adventurers. This fun book chronicles many of Bill Connelly's adventures around the world in his pursuit of geology. The book begins in 1974 when he was a graduate student at the University of California studying subduction complexes in coastal Alaska from an inflatable boat. After receiving his Ph.D., he continued doing field work in southern Alaska for AMOCO with helicopter support. He worked in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Albania soon after Perestroika during the 1990's. He was a ConocoPhillips secondee to Petrozuata in Venezuela when the company was nationalized by Hugo Chavez in 2007. His career also took him to the states of Washington, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas, as wells as Norway, Israel, Japan, China, Hong Kong, and Vietnam.Color edition of the book is also available.
