Offered in 0 more formatsFor this edition new contributors have retraced Alt and Hyndman's routes for the original, taking photographs in the same places where possible, adding GPS coordinates for most photographs so readers can find the place--either on the computer or in the flesh--and created new color maps using the digital data from the 2010 Geologic Map of California. They have also updated the geologic information based on the work of geographers during the past decade and a half. The gross arrangement is by region or range: the Sierra Nevada, Klamath Mountains, Coast Range, the Great Valley, High Cascades on the Modoc Plateau, and basin and range. The finer arrangements within these are by road and town. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
