A very satisfying introduction to the geology of the Bay Area. It includes a good introduction to basic geology, which I certainly needed. The book looks and feels like a field guide and I actually went on several trips that were suggested by the book. A plethora of pictures helps in the learning process.At times, it's a bit too heavy on the individual types of rocks at any given geographic location. I would have liked to have that balanced with a good description of why the particular areas look as they do. However, that being said, the book gives a strong general overview of the larger geologic processes that shaped the Bay Area.I know I'll never again look at a rock in the Bay Area the same way.
