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

Some general interest series and books that are particularly popular are:

Scenic Trips in to the Geologic Past

Decision Makers Field Guides
Field guides prepared to inform decision makers about topical earth science issues in New Mexico.
The Geology of Northern New Mexico's Parks, Monuments, and Public Lands

Some publications, including those that are out-of-print, are only available for purchase on CD or DVD-ROM CD icon.
