Sinopsis:
This color-illustrated guide for general readers and students describes well-known and less-visited places to explore the beauty and geology of Indiana. The book opens with an accessible history of Indiana geology. Entries are organized by region, from the Indiana Dunes of the north to the rivers and waterfalls of the south, and each regional section begins with a brief introduction to the region. Entries are 2-4 pages and describe major geological features and significance of the site. Most entries are geological formations, but some are historical sites or sites notable for human activities related to natural resources. Contributors are affiliated with the Indiana Geological and Water Survey. The book contains a glossary, along with color photos, maps, and charts.

Acerca de los autores: The Indiana Geological and Water Survey (IGWS) is a research institute of Indiana University. Its mission is to provide geologic information and counsel that contribute to the wise stewardship of the energy, mineral and water resources of the state. Since 1837, the health, safety, and welfare of Indiana's citizenry have benefited from a combination of IGWS activities: focused research initiatives and cooperative investigations with governmental agencies, businesses and industries, and educational organizations, geologic sample and data collection and archiving; and dissemination of information in many forms, including published maps reports, databases, and educational outreach programs.
After earning a BS in history and geology from Olivet Nazarene University (2009) and an MS in geoscience education from Indiana University (2012), Polly Sturgeon, the Outreach Coordinator of the Indiana Geological and Water Survey, joined professionals at the survey in its mission to provide unbiased information about the state's mineral, energy, and water resources, a service they've provided since 1837. A dedicated group of geologists, cartographers, photographers, and editors contributed to this book, the sixth in the state-by-state Geology Rocks! series.
