Real rock stars of Nova Scotia: Field guide tells story of geological past, leads you to beautiful, interesting sites "We really wanted people to see the geology for all its complexity," Barr said. "We didn't try to simplify it to the point where it becomes not true anymore." The book includes a trip planner and icons to help prepare for outings, as well as maps, travel directions, GPS waypoints and photos of each site. Safety, ease of access and, of course, interesting geology were the priorities in choosing the 48 sites, Barr said, but "they had to be places people wanted to go, even if they weren't interested in the rocks." -- John MacPhee, July 26, 2015 A traveller's guide to sites of geologic interest in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
