JANUARY 16, 2002--Through maps, diagrams, charts,
photographs, and text, this book takes you on a journey
through the geology of Tennessee. Beginning with
"Old Man River's Playground: The Flood Plain of the
Mississippi" Mr. Luther presses eastward, stopping
to observe the "Home of the Seagoing Dinosaur: The
Plateau Slope of West Tennessee", wandering along
the "Contrary River: The Western Valley of the
Tennessee", before arriving in "Cannonball
Country: The Western Highland Rim". The author then
takes you right into the "Bull's-eye Center of
Tennessee: The Central Basin", across the
"Plateau of the Barrens: The Eastern Highland
Rim", and the "Sky-high Table Land: The
Cumberland Plateau", down into the "Land of
the Rootless Ridges: East Tennessee's Great
Valley". Mr. Luther makes a quick stop at
"Tennessee's Eastern Rampart: The Unaka Range"
before treating you to a look at the "Explosion
Structures: Tennessee's Mystery Craters".
