It is not intended to stand alone, for there are already in print many good books about rocks and other geologic phenomena in the state. These include Minnesota's Rocks and Waters by George M. Schwartz and George A. Thiel, first published by the University of Minnesota Press in 1954 as well as Minnesota's Geology by Richard W. Ojakangas and Charles L. Matsch also published by the University of Minnesota Press in 1982. A third excellent discussion is Minnesota Undelfoot by Constance J. Sansome published by Voyager Press in 1983. Even though they are all more than 20 years old, these books, and especially the latter, remain the best guides to many of the state's outstanding geologic features. These volumes remain useful today because the rocks at the localities described in them remain unchanged. However, research over the past decade has considerably changed our understanding of the geologic processes responsible for those geologic phenom ena and their place in geologic history.
