JUST PUBLISHED: VALLES CALDERA--A GEOLOGIC HISTORY
The fascinating geologic history of New Mexico's Valles Caldera National Preserve just became even more fascinating with the publication of this slim but profusely illutrated volume from the University of New Mexico Press. Written by volcanologist and retired LANL scientist Fraser Goff, Valles Caldera offers an accessible scientific overview of the Caldera's geologic and geothermal wonders. With the lay reader in mind, the author kindly included a glossary of geologic terms; in case you have forgotten your high school or college science classes, here is your opportunity to learn again the difference between igneous and metamorphic rocks or a lava dome and a resurgent dome. Valles Caldera is a welcome addition to the growing body of literature about the Valles Caldera National Preserve.
