After Robert H. Dott Jr. fell in love with the mountains of the western United States at an early age, he studied geology at the Universities of Oklahoma and Michigan and earned a PhD at Columbia University in New York. He spent two years on active duty in the U.S. Air Force and then joined the faculty of the University of Wisconsin in 1958. Among his many publications is Evolution of the Earth, a pioneering undergraduate textbook now in its seventh edition.
John W. Attig is a transplanted New Englander who misses the ocean and mountains. He pursued his interest in glacial and Quaternary geology while a student at the University of Main at Orono (MS, 1974) and the University of Wisconsin (Ph.D. 1984). Since 1981 he has been affiliated with the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey. He enjoys public education and is a Professor in the University of Wisconsin Extension Department of Environmental Sciences. He has conducted research in the Midwest and New England as well as in Antartica, Alaska, and Scandinavia. He and his wife, Cathy, live on a til plain of the Green Bay Lobe in Waunakee, Wisconsin.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Robert H. Dott Jr. and John W. Attig wrote Roadside Geology of Wisconsin to help residents and visitors alike "envision mastodons roaming in front of glaciers 12,000 years ago, feel storm waves pounding sea cliffs 500 million years ago, and hear volcanoes exploding 1,900 million years ago." With lively prose, detailed maps, black-and-white photographs, and shaded-relief images, the authors succeed in their goal: unraveling the 2,800 million years of geologic history recorded in Wisconsin's rocks.Introductory sections describe the geology of each region, and thirty-five road guides locate and interpret the rocks, sediments, and landforms visible from the state's highways, including the Great River Road in the Mississippi Valley. Roadside Geology of Wisconsin delves further into the geologic history of specific sites such as Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, the Wisconsin Dells, the geologically renowned Baraboo Hills, and more than twenty-five state parks. Features of and access points to the Ice Age National Scenic Trail are noted. ."
