Lost Worlds in Alabama Rocks was the most important geological education book ever published in Alabama. It presented a comprehensive look at half a billion years of Earth history, was written at an appropriate level for the public, and was profusely illustrated. Now, a second edition has been turned in to the publisher, and is scheduled to be published by the end of the summer. The new edition very closely resembles the first, except it is about half again as long. The new edition is more comprehensive, and not wordier. I will tell you more when the book is available. For now, know that what was once one of the best geology-of-a-state books will soon be a great deal better. Rejoice!
By the way, the first edition is already a serious collector's item. If you can find a copy for less than $300, count yourself lucky.
