Special Events - Meet The Authors

Book Signing and more!

Come meet the authors and get your own autographed copy of their books! We are featuring a selection of outstanding books on earth science subjects such as the 1906 earthquake (3-D images, eyewitness accounts, a novel), faults in California, earthquake research, geology of the San Francisco Bay area, Clarence King (famous geologist and first Director of the USGS), the High Sierras, great mystery books that incorporate geology, and the latest version of the USGS map, "This Dynamic Planet." We will also feature a DVD on the 1906 earthquake.

Check out our authors and see their schedules. To learn more about an author, select their name. To learn more about their book or DVD, select the title. Book authors are located near the GeoKids sales tent. Map authors are located in the Map Sales Office in Building 3 (see campus map)

Kepler's Book Store in Menlo Park, California, will be here to sell these books and an array of other high-quality earth science books and items for children and adults. This is a great time to stock up for birthdays and holidays---or for just plain fun!
