Roadside Geology of New York
Geology of New York: A Simplified Account

The Geology of New York City and Environs by Chris Schuberth. While this book was published in 1968, before the theories of plate tectonics were firmly established, I consider this a "must read" for anyone wanting a clear understanding of the wide variety of geology that presents itself in the New York City area. Several field trips are suggested, and outcrops that are no longer available are described. The book is out-of-print, but used copies are sometimes available.

"Winchester, whose previous effort was the bestseller The Professor and the Madman, tells the remarkable story of William Smith, whose geologically correct map of England and Wales, dated 1815, became the bedrock for the modern science of geology. Winchester's strength is his ability to meld into compelling narrative a host of literary conventions, such as foreshadowing and fictionalized, internal dialogue". starting low as $5.45

Grade 5-10-"A chronology of life on Earth from its earliest beginnings in a primordial sea to a brief look at the Tertiary and Quaternary (including a quick flick into human evolution). Divided into broad subjects ("The Age of Ancient Life," "Armored Dinosaurs," etc.), which are again subdivided ("The Burgess Shale," "Triassic animals," etc.), the book focuses on dinosaurs, but provides a broad spectrum of other life-forms and the evolutionary landscapes in which they lived". from $12.99
Best Book of Fossils, Rocks, and Minerals The Best Book of Fossils, Rocks and Minerals
"This book was and is a big hit with my four-year-old. Clear, easy-to-understand text and big, bright illustrations make the book accessible to young readers. It is neatly formatted into two-page "chapters" focusing on specific topics, which makes it easy for him to "look up" whatever he's interested in that particular day. It also has useful tips for starting a rock collection, and (important for parents) convenient ways to store said collection. I recommend this book to any parent with a child interested in any aspect of geology". only $10.36
