Arizona Geological Survey (AZGS) now hosts a new storefront at Amazon.com. Over eighty titles are available, including the popular Down-to-Earth (DTE) geotourism series illustrating the geology of State and National Parks of Arizona using full color pictures, graphics, and easy-to-read text.

DTE favorites include: Geologic Guide to Sabino Canyon and the Catalina Highway, A Guide to the Geology of Saguaro National Park, Highlights of Northern Arizona Geology, and Guide to the Geologic Features of the Petrified Forest, among others. These books are tailor-made for the student, adult or tourist eager to learn more about the nature and origin of Arizonas magnificent landscape.

In addition to the DTE Series, select mining and mineral resource bulletins, circulars, special papers, maps, and Arizona Geological Society Digests are also available through Amazon.

Amazon offers the opportunity to reach a whole new clientele outside of Arizona, said Randi Bellassai, AZGS's Sales and Marketing Manager.
