Flint, Richard Foster,
The Surficial Geology of the New Haven and Woodmont
Quadrangles
, Quadrangle Report No. 18, Hartford, U.S. Geological Survey, 1965.
An indispensible source for understanding surficial geology, and especially the process and effects of glaciation in this area.
Johnson, Douglas,
The New England-Acadian Shoreline
, New York: Hafner, 1967.
This work is worth using for an explanation of the formation of New Haven Harbor and the New England shoreline in general. However, it is difficult to read.
Osterweis, Rollin G.,
Three Centuries of New Haven
, New Haven: Yale University Press, 1953. A wonderful history of New Haven picturing the harbor in many places. The old maps are very useful.
Rodgers, John, “The Geological History of Connecticut”,
Discovery
, Vol. 15 Number 1, 1980, New Haven: Peabody Museum of Natural History, Yale University Press, 1981.
An invaluable resource for an overview of Connecticut geology. It is more interesting if the reader has a background in geology.
Shelton, John S.,
Geology Illustrated
, San Francisco: Freeman Press, 1966.
This text provides the best visualizations of geological processes in the form of photographs that could possibly be found. It also covers the entire field in a comprehensive manner.
Shumway, Floyd, and Hegel, Richard,
New Haven
,
An Illustrated History
, U.S.A.: Windsor Publications, 1981.
This is a good source of clear, old maps and views of the harbor.
Smith, David I. and Stopp, Peter,
The River Basin
, Cambridge: 1978.
A nice, easily read explanation of the workings and systems of rivers. It introduces the reader to mechanics of river flow measurement and uses.
Strahler, Arthur N.
A Geologist’s View of Cape Cod
, Garden City, New York: The Natural History Press, 1966.
This small work presents structures and processes on Cape Cod, but they can be used very well as explanations of Connecticut beaches and shores. The diagrams and pictures are most helpful and the text is clearly written for the non-professional, even for students.
Vuke, Susan,
Processes of the Earth’s Surface
, Missoula: Mountain Press, 1980.
This book is a limitless resource for stimulating ideas on how to present geologic processes in the classroom, (particularly erosion). Excellent illustrations.
