Reseña del libro "The Finger Lakes Region: Its Origin and Nature (en Inglés)"
The extraordinary beauty of the Finger Lakes region is well known to its residents and to the many tourists who explore it each year. What is not so well known is the region's unique geology. Its distinctive features are the results of a singular combination of structural units and forces that operated thousands of years ago, when successive advances of the Ice Age continental glaciers thrust their fronts against escarpments extending across their path and into pre-glacial valleys. How these escarpments affected the flow of ice and how the glacial invasions remodeled the entire region is the subject of O. D. von Engeln's comprehensive study. Following a brief prologue on the region's pre-glacial history, the author discusses each of the region's characteristic features: what caused it, its nature, its relation to other phenomena of the region and, often, to other distinctive topographic phenomena throughout the world. His research is a notable contribution to the interpretation of the region's geologic history and relief aspects. Fascinating for the layman will be the insights into geological method that Professor von Engeln provides - hos a region gives evidence of its history, what possibilities of explanation for a phenomenon exist for the geologist and how he decides. Professor von Engeln explains and convincingly defends his own theories. The author gives precise directions as th where the various phenomena can be seen to greatest advantage, so that both the professional and the amateur geologist as well as the resident who wants to understand clearly his region's physical history may see at first hand these unique scenic features.
