This fascinating program will highlight fundamental aspects of the state's geology, paleontology and ecology, and day trips to sites where concepts come to life. It will describe how connections can be made between Connecticut rocks, fossils, and nature, our local cultural history, and global earth science.

Reviews for Road to Discovery Series guides to the nature of Connecticut:

“They provide an excellent, accessible, and well written account of the state’s natural history. These books should do a great deal to stimulate public appreciation of Connecticut’s natural heritage. They will be on my recommended reading shelf.”
Leo J. Hickey, Professor and Chairman, Geology & Geophysics, Yale University.

“While each book covers an array of activities and scientific expertise, they all seek to foster the impulse of discovery in even the most prosaic of settings—your own back yard, for example…The books are thus both primers for discovery and narratives of nature.”
The Stamford Advocate.

“A wonderful and long-needed book that teachers, students, and amateurs will find valuable…well referenced and includes a list of museums and rock and mineral clubs.”
Connecticut Journal of Science Education.

“Perfect weekend getaways for nature lovers in our own back yard. [The books] are more than just guides, offering chapter upon chapter of educational information to help families, hikers and the curious get the most of their excursions.”
The Shore Times.

“Outstanding series of books…offers delights for the serious amateur scientist, as well great ideas for the harried parent looking for new ideas for family outings. The authors are experts in their field, and the organization is outstanding.”
Rivers Alliance of Connecticut.

“The trips in these books are certainly going to be of great use to teachers and educators and to parents as well.”
Brian Skinner, Professor, Geology & Geophysics, Yale University.

“What a wonderful volume! I was very impressed with the technique of weaving together the geology of the valley with the early scientists and those that followed, right up to today's researchers. A delightful read—more like a novel than a text book.”
Steve Sauter, Education Director, The Natural History Museum at Amherst College.

“Well written, well researched—fun to read and informative. I love these books; they are
excellent in all respects!”
Spencer Lucas, Curator of Paleontology, New Mexico Museum of Natural History.

“Takes on huge topics in geology and paleontology and explains them clearly and honestly. A pleasure to read…wonderful imagery AND clarity; I’m jealous.”
Steve Gatesy, Associate Professor, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Brown University.

“The most loving treatment of this material I’ve read. A great read and valuable resource.”
Paul Olsen, A. D. Storke Memorial Professor, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University.
