Few places in the US boast as rich a diversity of landscape and public lands as northern New Mexico.  L. Greer Price & Nelia Dunbar from the NM Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources present a slideshow of images and discuss and sign The Geology of Northern New Mexico's Parks, Monuments, and Public Lands (NM Bureau of Geology & Mineral Resources, $24.99), their new single-volume, authoritative overview of the geology of these parks, monuments, and public lands, with information on the regioal setting, the rock record, and the most prominent geologic features.  The book includes chapters on nine national parks and monuments, seventeen state parks, and many of the most popular Bureau of Land Management and US Forest Service units in this part of the state.  Also included are chapters on two of our newer units, the Valles Caldera National Preserve and Kashe-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument.  With nearly 200 full-color geologic maps, graphics, and photographs, the book is a perfect introduction to some of New Mexico's most significant geologic landscapes.

L. Greer Price is also co-author of Scenic Trip 18: Albuquerque - A Guide to its Geology and Culture.
