The 20 chapters of The Geology of Washington and Beyond�an outgrowth of a geologic symposium�present the substantial advances in recent research on the geologic history of Washington State. The 32 contributors used new conceptual developments such as sequence stratigraphy, identification and matching of terranes, and neotechtonics, as well as breakthroughs in technology such as lidar mapping, paleomagnetism, and new methods of radiometric dating, to examine the fascinating geology of Washington State and beyond. Also included is geologic mapping in areas previously known only by reconnaissance. This book will influence resource management decisions, as well as disaster and land-use planning in the region. The introductory chapters make the book accessible for undergraduate courses in geology and to the general public.

Excerpt from Contributions to the Geology of Washington: Geology and Physiography of Central Washington Subsequently in his work, Theoretische Geologic, he reproduces two of these diagrams and introduces others showing the proportions of chemical components in two series of minerals (feldspars and pyroxenes) and others showing the proportions of the chief minerals in three kinds of rocks. One diagram consists of adjacent, long, narrow rectangles, each divided into rectangular parts proportionate to the percentages of the oxide constituents in certain kinds of rocks, from granite to gabbro, and in five types of meteorites. Judd, in his book on Volcanoes. In 1881, makes use of a diagram to represent the varying amounts of chemical elements in rocks and meteorites. It is similar in form to one used by Reyer.
