Exploring the Highest Sierra $29.54 James G. Moore Book Exploring the Highest Sierra is a broadly accessible introduction to one of the most magnificent regions of the American West, detailing the geology, natural history, and the early explorations of the highest part of California’s Sierra Nevada range. It is also an indispensable guide for visitors to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, with abundant maps, photographs, and geologic guides that clearly explain the formation of the awesome natural features before them. The highest Sierra was one of the last parts of the United States to be explored, and it was only during the Civil War that the first scientific party attempted a reconnaissance map of the region. They discovered in the process, that it included the highest mountain then in the United States, Mount Whitney. The book describes the arduous travels of the early explorers, including John C. Fremont and John Muir, and weaves the history of exploration together with modern geologic concepts to show the early naturalists’ contributions to geologic thought. Throughout, all terms that may be unfamiliar to non-specialists are simply and succinctly defined, and the book is richly punctuated with anecdotes, tales, myths, and biographical sketches of colorful characters associated with the region. The book is illustrated with some 224 early etchings and maps, modern photographs, and diagrams, including 44 maps that incorporate 12 historical charts dating back to the earliest explorations. A series of 15 color maps of the region encompassing the parks, all at the same scale, feature such diverse aspects as the trails pioneered by John Muir, the extent of glacial ice during the Ice Age, and the location of geologic faults and epicenters. Geologic guides for the region’s principal roads and trails define the mileage of all lookouts and points of interest so that the visitor can examine the described features at first hand. The southern half (more than 100 miles) of the John Muir trail lies within the region, and the book includes a geologic guide to this high-altitude wilderness trail. James G. Moore is Senior Research Geologist Emeritus with the U. S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, California. His is the coauthor (with Robert D. Ballard) of Photographic Atlas of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge Rift Valley. “An engrossing account not only of the geology but also of the early exploration and topographic mapping of the range. Moore’s half-century of geologic fieldwork in the Sierra shines through in this masterful treatment, presented in an engaging, nontechnical style. Visitors to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks will be particularly interested in the detailed road and trail logs, which give marvelous descriptions of the region’s scenery, history, and geology.” Dallas L. Peck, former director, U.S. Geological Survey “No other author has captured the full panorama of the Sierra Nevada’s geologic history and exploration. Moore has produced a monumental work. Captivating writing and superb illustrations carry the reader into the highest Sierra along the paths of the pioneer explorers. With its wonderful maps and field guides, the book deserves the highest praise.” Richard S. Fiske, former director, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution “As a geologist who has worked extensively on the Sierra Nevada, I can say that Moore’s book stunned me with its masterful treatment of much that I knew about this mountain range, but so much more that I didn’t know. It has no competition and will be a bible to the specialist and visitor to the region alike. With so much material to organize, I am amazed at how well Moore has been able to put it all together in a wonderfully readable fashion.” Garniss Curtis, University of California, Berkeley Scotland $52.49 Jana Strycker Book Memories of Italy 2008 $26.19 David Tringale Book Sailing To Byzantium $34.19 Moon Fan Book Passport Cornel I. image Romanian Passport
