SciTech Book News

As a resource for librarians and other buyers of high-level books, SciTech Book News, published quarterly, cites about 2000 new books from several hundred publishers in each issue, offering concise reviews and annotations and thorough bibliographic information. The bibliography itself is arranged by subject, but this page and the other publisher pages present the material arranged by publisher.

Entries include title, author, series (in parentheses), publisher, copyright date, number of pages, price (at the time of listing), Library of Congress subject classification code, and ISBN. For scholarly and reference books, we note if they lack a subject index or a bibliography. Size is mentioned when the book exceeds 8.5x11 inches.

Big black boring rock; essays on Northwest geology.

Reidel, Stephen P.

Reidel, a geologist in the Pacific Northwest, presents essays which originated as Northwest Geology columns in the Tri-City Herald and explored the basalt rocks and formations of Washington's Columbia Basin. The short essays explain the creation of these formations from lava flows and water, and describe landmarks and geohazards such as Mount St. Helens, Badger Mountain, White Bluffs, and the Two Sisters, and geological features of other places in the area, including Maryhill Museum, Pinnacles State Park, Lake Coeur d'Alene, and La Grande Basin.
