Ontario Rocks ― Three Billion Years of Environmental Change

Eyles (U. of Toronto) writes for outdoor enthusiasts and others with a touch of rock hound in them, about the fundament of his particular part of North America. He begins with several chapters on the history and methods of geology itself. Then he takes readers back 2.5 billion years ago to a continent called Arctica and a province called Superior. From there the journey proceeds forward to ongoing processes and the impact of urbanization. Colorful maps and photographs abound. Annotation c2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
