Why read it?
1 author picked Desert Heat, Volcanic Fire as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I used to teach Topics in Regional Geology at Yavapai College (Prescott) and when preparing for field trips in the Santa Catalina and Tucson Mountains, I leaned heavily on this clearly written and engaging book with a fascinating storyline. Dr. Kring brings readers of all levels on a wondrous journey through time in the desert southwest. I think one of the most amazing aspects of the book is that none of the main parts of the story are readily obvious to anyone. Only geologic sleuthing has unearthed them.
From Wayne's list on The best books on geology and landscapes of the American Southwest and Colorado Plateau.
