Glaciers in sunny California? Many people will be surprised to learn that there are several hundred in this state, ranging in size from the impressive Whitney Glacier on Mt. Shasta and the Palisade Glacier in the Sierra Nevada to tiny glacierets. While California's glaciers are small compared to those in the northern Rockies or the European Alps, each one is interesting and some are suitable for exploring. Also of note is the fact that Ice Age glaciers carved California's most spectacular mountain scenery—the High Sierra was glaciated several times and glacial landforms are prominent features of the Sierran landscape today. Bill Guyton summarizes the history of the discovery of Ice Age glaciation and modern-day glaciers in California, as well as the development of modern ideas about the state's glacial history. He describes the controversy about the origin of Yosemite Valley and quotes from the colorful accounts of early mountain explorers such as John Muir, Josiah Whitney, and François Matthes. His book provides a primer on glaciers and glacial landforms, a glossary of technical terms, helpful illustrations, and a 100-mile Sierra field trip guide for readers who want to see glaciers and glacial features for themselves. Glaciers of California will make any visit to the mountains more interesting, whether one is carrying a camera, crampons, or a fishing pole.

"This report describes and provides background for the accompanying preliminary geologic map of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks compiled on the special topographic map of the parks at a scale of 1:125,000. This geologic map of the parks is one-half the scale of the 12 published geological quadrangle maps (scale 1:62,500) that cover more khan half of the parks area. Therefore it was necessary to simplify cartographic detail and to portray a minimum number of lithologic units. .... This open file map, and the explanatory text, is intended as a general assessment of the regional geology of the parks area, as a resource for planning further geologic research in the parks, and as a guide for the park interpretive staff in the geologic framework and geologic history of the parks. It is also an initial step in the preparation of a final map to accompany a popularized report on the geology of the parks."--Page 2.
