"Missouri Complete" according to Michael J. Miller. I have quite a collection of regional geologies. This volume is, by far, the best organized and complete one I've seen. If you have any interest in the geology of Missouri or the mid-continent area, I'd strongly recommend it.. "This book rocks!" according to A Customer.

This is one of my favorite books in my collection and I would consider this a "must have" for any Mis
Intended for the general reader, Missouri Geology is a well-illustrated introduction to the fascinating geology of Missouri.
