Earth Science Slides Geologist/pilot/photographer John S. Shelton has compiled some of his best photography into a set of 500 35mm slides, selected to illustrate the principles of geology. Outstanding aerial photography, ground views, and close-ups provide an excellent teaching tool to supplement classroom and laboratory courses as well as field trips in the earth sciences and physical geography.
A comprehensive 176-page guidebook is included and aids teachers and students in interpreting the scenes and provides information, such as location and age of rocks, not apparent from the slides alone.
The following subjects are included in Set 2 of the Earth Science Images on CD. The slide set includes all of the images on pages 2 and 3.
Streams and Fluvial Landscapes - 31 images Storm and flood; Stream and erosion patterns; Stream terraces; Some fluvial landscapes.
Lakes & Other Local Depressions - 16 images Volcanic lakes; Landslide lakes; Glacial lakes; Tectonic lakes and depressions; Solu-tion ponds.

Revised 3rd Edition
Stereograms may be used with a folding pocket lens stereoscope or a large mirror stereoscope.
This unique collection of aerial stereo photographs and remote sensing imagery includes more than 90 sets of stereo pairs of black
and white and color aerial photographs obtained from various
government agencies in the U. S. and Canada. The collection includes
standard aerial photographs (scale approximately 1-in. = 1 mile) plus
special low altitude and high altitude photographs flown for specific
geologic and geographic missions.
The atlas includes 30 color images and is printed with 300 line
screens on coated paper to produce near photographic quality.
The author has attempted to provide examples of geologic features from all of the geologic provinces. The images, if purchased
separately, would be valued at more than $5,000.
The stereo pairs may be viewed with either a pocket lens stereo-
scope or a large mirror stereoscope. It is available in two versions. The
standard edition includes a sixteen-page teacher’s supplement with
locations, topographic and geologic map references, and features
illustrated. The student lab edition does not include this information
so that it can be used as a laboratory exercise. Questions accompany
the images in both editions.
The atlas is ideal for the study of physical geology, structural geology, physical geography, geomorphology, photogrammetry, remote sensing, and aerial photo interpretation.
New to this edition:
Size 81⁄2 x 11-in. Includes a three-ring binder.

Now the Geoscope is available with a storage box and parallax wedge. The storage case is made of durable ABS plastic and is designed to give good protection to the Geoscope and lens when used in the field or for storage. The paral-lax wedge is used for measuring heights and includes five scales along the edges and two grid scales for areas. The accuracy is 1% of H of flying height.CP3033 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $160.00
