Description

The science of the Earth in all its splendor.

Over the Rivers is the second one volume within the exciting Aerial View of Geology series (the first was once the highly praised Over the Mountains). As as a geologist, one in all The usa’s premier aerial photographers and a gifted science creator, Michael Collier is exceptionally well qualified to give these spectacular landscapes and stunning aerial photographs that vividly demonstrate geological processes.

Vivid text and clear captions guide readers through the exciting photographs, enhancing their understanding of fundamental geological processes. Collier explores, for instance:

  • How a 6,000-foot-deep canyon was once carved out by the erosive power of a single river
  • How violent tectonic forces millions of years ago vaulted a river over a mountain
  • Why one river takes its time meandering, every other all of sudden drops over a cliff, and a third slowly separates into a sprawling delta.

Over the Rivers inspires as it informs, and dazzles as it enlightens.
