AEU SCI GB 428.5 B36 A plain language account in six chapters. Somewhat dated (e.g., plate tectonics identified as the 'new geology') but still a useful, and widely cited, read. Written with clarity and a good deal of waspish humour. The text concentrates more on the mountains and foothills rather than the plains, which is perhaps not unexpected because Beaty, who died in 2000, was a long-time faculty member in the Geography Department at the University of Lethbridge. The Cypress Hills are described in pp. 79-81. The book also contains some good black-and-white photos of features and localities discussed and some helpful simple diagrams and maps. (27/Aug/2011).
