DeCourten, a former curator for the Utah Museum of Natural History and a geology professor, draws from a wide range of research papers to present a concise and readable exploration of the topic. The book is written in a nontechnical language and includes numerous illustrations and maps. It will be of interest to geology enthusiasts and provides a valuable resource for further research.
