About this title

Synopsis

The geological story of the Southern Illinois landscape and rock formations is introduced in this highly readable guide written and illustrated for every�one who enjoys exploring the outdoors.

The book presents a lively and clear account of the geology and landscape of Southern Illinois that will deepen the reader’ s knowledge of the earth’ s past as well as serve as a handbook for excur�sions into the outdoors. Residents and visitors alike will learn to identify land�scape features created in the medium of sedimentary rocks and shaped by bed�rock geology, the dynamic local cli�mate, movements of the earth’ s crust, and circulations of groundwater. Photo�graphs and drawings provide visual examples of the landscape features dis�cussed, and small index maps simplify locating them by showing their princi�pal distribution. Many segments of topographic maps aid in identifying typical formations and associated land-forms.

Exploring the land and rocks, wheth�er on foot or by car or boat, increases in fascination through enriched under�standing of the story nature has left in the landscape. Nature’ s story in South�ern Illinois is superbly introduced in Exploring the Land and Rocks of Southern Illinois.
