Book Review: Texas through time—Lone Star geology, landscapes, and resources

By Robert E. Mace

Texas through time—Lone Star geology, landscapes, and resources

December 21, 2017 Book Review, Book Review Vol 8, Vol 8 (2017)

Despite being deemed the “Undergraduate Geology Scholar” when I graduated from New Mexico Tech, I’m not a geologist. My undergraduate degree is in geophysics, which meant drink­ing wine with physicists and mathematicians more frequently than drinking beer with geologists (which is why geologists tend to be suspicious of geophysicists). My graduate studies were focused on hydrogeology, which is more about wet rocks than the rocks themselves. I say all this to put my review of Thomas Ewing’s book—Texas Through Time: Lone Star Geology, Landscapes, and Resources—into perspective: I’m interested in geology, but I don’t wake up every morning eager to lick rocks…
