Geology and Landforms of Grey & Bruce Counties

"Nothing lasts forever; not cliffs, nor creeks, nor canyons."
A quotation poised above Johnson Canyon in the Canadian Rockies.

In many places our activities accelerate natural processes and we degrade the places we find most inspiring. With living things there is always the hope that nature, if left alone, will recover fairly quickly. Geological formations are not so forgiving.

The aim of this book is to present an overview of the geology and landforms of Grey and Bruce Counties in a format and language which will be accessible to all who are interested in this unique area, while maintaining scientific accuracy. There are many precise technical terms used by experts, often of foreign origin. Some of these have been included for the benefit of those who wish to persue this subject further. It is hoped that the illustrations will help clarify their meaning. There are definitions in the text and in the Glossary and at the back of the book. Newly introduced words are bolded.
