作者簡介
Born in Ohio, Albert Binkley Dickas earned bachelor's and master's degrees from Miami University (Oxford, OH). After serving in the US Navy, he earned a PhD at Michigan State University and then worked in the petroleum industry. He then joined the faculty of the University of Wisconsin–Superior, where he taught for thirty-one years and founded an environmental research center. During this time he led numerous field conferences, authored and coauthored more than thirty papers, and delivered presentations from Nova Scotia to Siberia—all on the subject of Precambrian oil and Precambrian rifting. Today he lives on the crest of Brush Mountain in southwest Virginia, where he continues to engage in research and plan travel excursions in his quest for new and interesting geo-sites on all seven continents. He is the author of the wildly popular 101 American Geo- Sites You've Gotta See, also published by Mountain Press.
