Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau

In an earlier post I mentioned Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau, by Ron Blakey and Wayne Ranney. For this background, see The Coconino Chronicles August 11, 2008.

We were able to attend their lecture on Wednesday night. The book arrived from Amazon on Monday, so the timing was just right.

The book is as good as I thought it would be. You can get a feel for what Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau is all about on Dr. Blakey's website.

The lecture gave a really helpful overview and Wayne Ranney talked about how the maps are made, which was extremely interesting. The video of the lecture should be available soon onthe Grand Canyon Association website. I will post that update as soon as I get an update.

We've been following Dr. Blakey through his website for a long time. It is great to see the publication of this book. If you want to purchase it, I would highly recommend Amazon.com because the price is so good.
