Zusammenfassung:Drawing on 30-plus years of experience teaching geology, physical science, and English at Hagerstown Community College, retired academic Means offers educators, students, and general readers a guide to the best geological features found inside and outside the Beltway, in 35 road guides describing the landforms and rocks visible from a car window, along bike paths, and at nearby waysides and parks. The text includes an introductory overview of key geologic concepts and the geographic history of Maryland, Delaware, and Washington, DC; sections covering the Allegheny Plateau, Valley and Ridge and Blue Ridge Provinces, Piedmont Province, and Coastal Plain; and a glossary of terms. Each section opens with a general description of the area's geological features, followed by detailed road guides for routes in the area. The work is illustrated with b&w and color photographs, maps, and diagrams.
