Wayne Ranney: Geologist, Adventurer, and Mapmaster Flash
You
may recall that I mentioned, sometime in the recent past, the
paleogeographic maps are fabulous. Or you may not. But they are.
And what's even more wonderful is that Wayne Ranney, one of the guys
behind those afore-mentioned fabulous maps will be speaking at the
Heard Museum on Tuesday, December 11, at 1:30 p.m. To 3:00 p.m.
He'll be signing copies of his books in our book store afterward.
I've posted a review of the book he co-wrote with Ron Blakey, Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau,
which features maps that depict what the Colorado Plateau may have
looked like millions and even billions of years ago.
I will soon be
posting a review of Carving Grand Canyon: Evidence, Theories, and Mystery (2nd Edition) which casts light on past and recent arguments about when the Grand
Canyon began to form.
And I look forward to diving into Sedona
Through Time, which delves into
the formation of one of the most beautiful places on Earth: Oak Creek
Canyon.
We have all three titles available at the Heard Museum Book
Store, and Mr. Ranney will be signing there after his lecture. Don't
miss it!
