Table of ContentsReviewsThis magnificent book will be a fundamental resource for every geologist and paleontologist working or interested in the Gulf Coast. Its beautiful and abundant illustrations, combined with exhaustive and authoritative yet very readable text, make it a landmark in our understanding of the stunningly diverse and important geology of this section of the country. The authors' broad and deep expertise is evident on every page. They have produced a model for how to write seriously about regional geology for a wide audience in the early twenty-first century. It is a remarkable achievement. --Warren D. Allmon, director, Paleontological Research Institution, and Hunter R. Rawlings III Professor of Paleontology, Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Cornell University If you want to know why Mississippi is built the way it is, then look no further. For more than 600 pages, they tell you all that you would ever want to know about our geologic history. It is a fascinating read. And for those looking ahead to what I predict will be one of the next major political battles--how we use and conserve our underground water-- The Geology of Mississippi explains in great detail where the aquifers are located, how they got there, and what may become of them. You can almost see where the political lines will be drawn based on geology explained by Dockery and Thompson. The Geology of Mississippi is a great one-stop shop for anything you may want to know about our state's environmental history. --Jere Nash, coauthor of Mississippi Politics: The Struggle for Power, 1976-2008, Second Edition ; Mississippi Fried Politics: Tall Tales from the Back Room ; and America's Great Storm: Leading through Hurricane Katrina Author InformationDavid T.
