Details: Brad Van Diver's 1985 work, Roadside Geology of New York, explores the state's geology in a series of self guided road trips from one end of the state to the other. Even if you don't plan on taking the tours, the well written book is loaded with well described maps, diagrams, and photos. I consider this book to be one of the essentials for a good understanding of New York's geology.
