Why read it?

1 author picked North Dakota's Geologic Legacy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

After forty-two years with the North Dakota Geological Survey, Bluemle is well qualified to take both professional and lay readers through the geological ages that shaped modern-day North Dakota. I appreciate the way he skillfully covers the major regions of the state, such as the Missouri Couteau and the Red River Valley, with lavishly illustrated photos, maps, and diagrams. He also discusses the state’s considerable energy resources. 

Everything I need to know on this topic is in one paperback, and it is a convenient size for taking on a field trip!
