Synopsis
The rhythmic basin-and-range landscape of the Great Basin, and its mountain ranges, hot springs, and vast alkaline playas are apparent to any observant visitor. However, the geological history of this rugged and unique province has often been hidden in the technical literature and jargon of the professional Earth scientist. In this book, geoscientist Bill Fiero synthesizes the theories and concepts which provide a geological description of the Great Basin and thus makes this story accessible to the non-geologist.
