Geologic Story of Yosemite National Park
by N. King Huber
The Geologic Story of Yosemite National Park is an authoritative and up-to-date summary of Yosemite's geology based on studies conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey. It is also the first comprehensive treatment of the subject written in layman's terms. Multiple maps, diagrams, and color photographs help to describe Yosemite's rocks and their origin, the geologic processes that produced the mountain range, and the final evolution of a landscape sculpted by running water and glaciers.
Dr. Huber is a research geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, and has mapped and studied the geology of the central Sierra Nevada for more than 30 years.
The 64 page book with 2 geologic maps and 85 photographs and diagrams is available at many bookstores for $8.95. It may also be ordered directly from the
Yosemite Association for $12.90, $13.55 for California residents. This price includes shipping, handling and sales tax for California residents.
