General Interest Books

Several of our books are geared towards a non-technical (but interested) audience. We also carry some general interest books from other publishers. You may want to examine some of our Field Guides as well.

Two general interest series that are particularly popular are:

Scenic Trips in to the Geologic Past
A series of guidebooks to various geologically interesting regions in and around New Mexico.
Decision Makers Field Guides
Field guides prepared to inform decision makers about topical earth science issues in New Mexico.

Some publications, including those that are out-of-print, are available in CD-ROM format CD icon only.
