Lake Bonneville A Scientific Update

"The overall presentation and quality of the finished product are worth commending. It is hardbound with a wonderful cover image of Gilbert's (1890) original map of Lake Bonneville that depicts his routes of travel, a useful reminder of the field-based data collection necessary to initiate and sustain such research. The volume contains excellent figure reproduction, including many detailed maps that reflect a commitment to effective cartographic design. It also includes comprehensive tables that compile a remarkable quantity of previously published and novel empirical data. Chapters are organized in an intuitive and creative manner, using a combination of chronological and disciplinary approaches.

Nevertheless, it maintains something of a narrative quality, which is a feature common to much outstanding scholarship in the earth sciences." --The AAG Review of Books
