A window seat to the greatest show on Earth!

Earth’s surface is a dramatic story of explosions, collisions, upheaval, and erosion. To comprehend such massive events and how they’ve altered the landscape, we need to see the big picture— from above. Aerial Geology provides a continent-wide perspective of North America’s 100 most remarkable landforms, from the ever-erupting Aleutian Islands of Alaska, to the migrating Baja California Peninsula, to the perfectly round crater blasted by a meteorite in eastern Canada. Mary Caperton Morton—with help from eye-popping images and descriptive illustrations—explains the powerful forces that are constantly reshaping our planet, bringing geology to magnificent life.

You’ll never see the ground beneath you the same way again.
