by N. King Huber

Written for a non-technical audience interested in geology, Geological Ramblings in Yosemite is a collection of essays by N. King Huber, a geologist emeritus with the U.S. Geological Survey who has extensive field experience in Yosemite National Park. Huber tells the dramatic story of how the park has been shaped by volcanoes, glaciers, stream patterns, erosion, and rock slides. His essays also pay tribute to early geologists and the evolution of how we understand the geological forces at work in the park.

This book explores Yosemite geology but primarily through the lens of history - how various geologists in the 19th and 20th centuries interpreted and argued about what Yosemite means geologically. There are many images, maps, and photos - both past and contemporary.
