- catalog abstract ""Reading the rocks like pages in a book, Geology Underfoot in Southern California offers an inside view of the southland's active and sometimes enigmatic landscape. Twenty vignettes each weave a geologic story of a particular scene, relationship, or feature. Some spotlight well-known landmarks: Morro Rock and Red Rock Canyon. Others view matters of practical concern: San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant and Santa Barbara Harbor. Some sketches provide a glimpse of the earth's awesome forces: Blackhawk slide and the eruption of the Bishop tuff. Together, these snapshots introduce readers to southern California's rich, dynamic, even flamboyant geology." -- Back cover.".
