Fundamentals of Hydrology (review)

quence of the erosion of loess soil found in this section of Louisiana’’ (p. ≥∂≥). Contrast that with a geologic measured section of the bluffs about two miles away, where less than ∞≤ feet of loess and mixed loess overlies ∏∑ feet of very light-colored late Pleistocene ancestral Mississippi River deposits including silts, clays and loams (Autin et al. ∞Ω∫∫). Both sources may be correct about elevation if the Mississippi River water levels were lower originally or if the original land surface was higher prior to slope failure or bank erosion. However, is it colluvium from loess at higher elevations or the gleyed ancestral Mississippi River deposits that gives the cliffs a white color? More citations would make it easier to distinguish fact from interpretation and to accurately attribute various comments. All in all, An Outdoor Guide to Guide to Bartram’s Travels is a useful resource for people planning to visit a few or many of Bartram’s sites. The authors have made a valuable contribution by discussing and illustrating the trail’s components with maps and photographs and giving accounts of what Bartram saw and did. Although some might prefer that more synthesis and citations were added, many academics interested in the southeast and its changes will find this book to be a nice addition to their collection.
