Description: The "Land of Enchantment," New Mexico is as varied in its scenery as its nickname suggests. With desert lowlands in the south and high, hoary peaks in the north, with rugged volcanic uplands and colorful plateaus, with high plains along its eastern border, and with a great rift valley that quite literally slashes the state in two, New Mexico's landscape tells a dramatic story that spans more than one billion years.
Details: It is amazingly accurate and if you are interested in Geology you will
learn solid, well written information about this Geology.

Details: I have persused through several Roadside Geology book, so I was pretty sure of what I was ordering. This book is wonderful to read before road trips, while on road trips and after road trips. My family and I have a much better understanding of and appreciation for what we are seeing on our trips. I highly recommend this series for anyone the least bit interested in geology.

Details: Outstanding! Since I travel frequently to and through New Mexico, this book was everything I hoped for. Familiar terrain takes on a new meaning now. The seller (BookPlanet) delivered the book promptly, at a reasonable price, and in new condition. Very satisfactory deal all the the way around. John Bradshaw
Review Summary: Not what I expected- Very interesting, great resource

Details: I expected a pretty dry book regarding a pretty dry subject. I was wrong.
This has stimulated my interest in geology. Each time we travel now, we take this book and the Roadside History of NM book with us. It makes our trips through New Mexico much more interesting. We stop and look at the places these books mention and read about the events that occured there and what the rocks are telling us. Sometimes we even take side trips to see things that are mentioned in one of these two books.
I particularly like how this book has diagrams and pictures to help clarify what it is exactly I'm looking at. There are answers to questions I wouldn't have thought to ask in this book.
If you drive through NM quite a bit, this is a good book to have with you as you travel. Even if you don't think you are interested in geology, this book is a good book to have.
