Roadside Guide Geology Great Smoky: Mountains National Park Plastic Comb – November 15, 1988

Looking forward to taking to the Smokey Mtns

Our children are already trying to pick out places to visit for next summers vacation. Cant wait to see how good this book really is, but if the info i have read so far is a hint we gonna have alot fun.

Needs updating using modern terms for 4 orogenies and black and white photos. Not enough regional cross sections, maps, and stratigraphic columns.

The book is in pristine condition, and covers the length of the road I will be traveling this Fall. I love these guides!

very good book, an excellent guide book.

Was NOT a plastic comb. Otherwise, good book.

I purchased this book at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park visitors center a couple weeks ago. I like the book and it has some very useful information. To me, it was a good book, to my wife, she couldn't understand a thing the author was talking about (and she is a smart lady!). The reason for this is simple; I took a geology class at East Tennessee State University a few years ago, my wife did not. After thinking about this, I realized that the only reason I did understand the subject matter was because of my class. It is written in terms that most likely only someone who has a background in geology could appreciate, or comprehend for that matter. If you are really interested in the geology of the Great Smoky Mountain and you have some prior knowledge of this subject, buy the book, visit the locations the author talks about and it will increase your understanding of the area. If you have never taken a class in geology, this book probably will do you no good and may very well be a waste of money.
