Recommended Book:
Although the geology of our southern neighbor differs slightly from that of Tennessee, this elegant hardbound book deserves a spot on your bedside table. Beautifully illustrated, well written and authoritative, this $35 volume goes far beyond being a mere reference book. Now in its second edition. |
