Summary: A Useful Regional Geology
Review: The author covers the geology of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan. This is helpful because the state geologies are either unavailable (Minnesota's and Wisconsin's) or over-priced (Michigan's). What's particularly welcome is Mr. LaBarge's extensive description of Pre-Cambrian developments, a period usually skipped over in a couple of paragraphs. The only disappointment is finding that, after filling over two hundred pages getting to the end of the Ordovician, he covers everything from Silurian to Cretaceous in about three pages.All in all, though, this is a welcome addition to the non-specialist geological literature and a bargain at the price.
