{"product_id":"geology-underfoot-in-yellowstone-country","title":"Geology Underfoot in Yellowstone Country","description":"Although it�s also known for for wolves, bison, and stunning scenery, Yellowstone National Park was established as the world�s first national park in 1872 largely because of its geological wonders. In \u003ci\u003eGeology Underfoot in Yellowstone Country\u003c\/i\u003e, author and geologist Marc Hendrix takes you to over twenty sites in the park and surrounding region that illustrate the deep-time story of Yellowstone Country, from its early existence as a seafloor hundreds of millions of years ago to an earthquake swarm in 2008 that caused some folks to wonder if the Yellowstone Volcano was going to blow its top�again. Besides covering icons such as Old Faithful and Mammoth Hot Springs, \u003ci\u003eGeology Underfoot in Yellowstone Country\u003c\/i\u003e visits sites that are less well known but just as mind blowing, including outcrops of rock deposited by superfast incendiary flows of hot ash; the glacially sculpted grandeur of the Beartooth and Absaroka mountains witnessed along the Beartooth Highway; and the deadly Madison landslide that killed twenty-eight people in 1959. With prose tooled for the lay reader and a multitude of colorful photos and illustrations, \u003ci\u003eGeology Underfoot in Yellowstone Country\u003c\/i\u003e will help you read the landscape the way a geologist does.\u003cbr\u003eThe Geology Underfoot series encourages you to get out of your car for an up-close look at rocks and landforms. These books inform and enlighten, no matter how much�or how little�geology you already know. What�s more, they�re simply good reading, on-site or at home.\r","brand":"Marc S.
