The first edition, in 1906, was bought by schools in all the 50 states and is still being widely used. Dr. Stokes, head of the University Geology Department, remarked that the second edition was necessary because of the wealth of new information being found through research and exploration. Several of the chapters have been revised because of the new edition. The publictaion contains several pictures of geological formations in Utah. It also incorporates many items of information on the subject which have been uncovered as a result of exploration in Utah. The task that first appears is the one that needs us most; let us take it up cheerfully. v |
