[quote="Examiner.com"]In Flakes, Jugs, and Splitters: A Rock Climber’s Guide to Geology, Garlick sets forth the basics of plate tectonics and rock formation and then delves into the geological history of popular climbing destinations on all seven continents (yes, including Antarctica).

I bought the book a few weeks ago. It's pretty good, I guess. I still have a lot of it to read.
