Geology of the Great Basin is the essential introduction to the geology of this physically complex, ever-changing region. Written in a clear, succinct style and generously illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and maps, the book describes the fundamentals of geologic processes, then discusses the physical attributes and geologic history of the Great Basin. The author also offers readers information about specific sites where significant geologic features can be observed. The book, first published in 1986, is now available in a new, easier-to-handle paperback edition that will make it more convenient for classroom use and for readers who want to carry it with them in their car or backpack.

Bill Fiero was a resident of the Great Basin for more than twenty years and logged more than 11,000 miles on highways and dirt roads conducting research for Geology of the Great Basin . He was published in journals and was also the author of Valley of Fire .
