How do you sculpt a thousand miles of flat? Donald Trimble answers by taking the Great Plains apart: its regions, its warping and stream deposits, the slow scoop of rivers cutting the tableland. He weighs the age of the Earth against the youth of the land itself. A crisp introduction to the geology hiding under America's endless grass.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
