Geologic Story of the Genesee Valley and Western New York: Told in Word and Picture, 193 Illustrations

215 pp. An account of local geology by the emeritus professor on the subject at University of Rochester. Maps (including a six-panel fold-out), black-and-white photographs, and illustrations throughout. "This book may not claim to be in scope and forma textbook of general geology. Yet for the Genesee valley and most of western New York the geological history and the physical processes which have shaped this part of the earth's surface are fairly presented. The region is destitute of crystalline rocks, volcanic phenomena and mountain structure; hence the topics of petrography, volcanism and tectonics are omitted."
