Review
"Roadside Geology of Arizona made sense of the landscape out the car window, from the rise of mountains to the spread of deserts."
"Here are a few things to do on a highway trip: Play 20 Questions, plug your kids into some sort of electronic anodyne, lose your mind. Here's another idea: Look for gneisses and amphibolites; seek out scarps, klippes and fault slices. Head for the Silurian boundary. Instead of feeling miserable and confined, feel the bones of the earth as you ride past the exposed evidence of the planet's history. . . . That's roadside geology, road food for the mind and eye."
About the Author
Halka Chronic received a doctorate in geology from Columbia University in 1949. Her career took her all over the globe from teaching at Haile Sellassie University in Ethiopia to identifying Geologic Landmarks for the U.S. National Park Service in the southern Rockies. She spent more than thirty years in Boulder, Colorado, working as an editor and raising her daughters.
Halka lived for many years in Sedona, Arizona. Semiretired, she wrote, took school children on field trips, and gave talks about the region's geology. She wrote three other Roadside guides for Mountain Press Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. She passed away in April 2013.
