摘要

In 1975, as Generalissimo Francisco Franco lay dying in Madrid, a party of geology students on an excursion to the mountains of northern Spain took a diversion to the Basque capital, Guernica. Had their leaders known a little more about art history, they would have realized that Pablo Picasso's iconic 1937 painting, the object of the detour, was still in exile in the United States at the time. I was on that trip and remember this well-meaning yet misguided diversion because it was a rare event in my personal geological history. Sadly, when travelling the world at other peoples expense, geologists will drive straight past every wonder of the world just to squeeze one more interesting roadside ditch into their itinerary. After reading The Mountains of St Francis, 1 feel certain that our trip would not have gone so awry had we been fortunate enough to have its author Walter Alvarez in our party.
