Book Description
Excerpt from Geologic Guidebook of the San Francisco Bay Counties: History, Landscape, Geology, Fossils, Minerals, Industry, and Routes to Travel However diversified the natural features may be, there centers about the lovely sprawling water-body of San Francisco Bay and the rivers which flow into it, a single picture naturally unified by early exploration, industry, economic and cultural development, as well as the story told by the rocks and surface relief. The diversity of char acter which makes this area interesting requires a knowledge of its fundamental geology. This in turn provides explanation of how the rocks and minerals, hills 'and valleys, streams and broad bodies of water came into being. The varied assortment of natural resources provided material for early exploration and development of civiliza tion. The utilization of natural resources as they were found, the adjustment of man to his. Natural environment, such as the surface physical features, have shaped and controlled the trend of history. With this knowledge as a background it becomes much easier to visual ize the future trends in economic and cultural development. As a bureau of information, the State Division of Mines finds such a study invaluable in its service to people who are interested in developing industries in the state, and in broadening their enjoyment of its natural endowments.

Book Description
"You can't really know the place where you live until you know the shapes and origins of the land around you. To feel truly at home in the Bay Area, read Doris Sloan's intriguing stories of this region's spectacular, quirky landscapes."—Hal Gilliam, author of Weather of the San Francisco Bay Region "This is a fascinating look at some of the world's most complex and engaging geology. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in an understanding of the beautiful landscape and dynamic geology of the Bay Area."—Mel Erskine, geological consultant "This accessible summary of San Francisco Bay Area geology is particularly timely. We are living in an age where we must deal with our impact on our environment and the impact of the environment on us. Earthquake hazards, and to a lesser extent landslide hazards, are well known, but the public also needs to be aware of other important engineering and environmental impacts and geologic resources. This book will allow Bay Area residents to make more intelligent decisions about the geological issues affecting their lives."—John Wakabayashi, geological consultant
