About the author
Stanley William Lohman (1907–1992) was an American geologist and hydrologist whose books introduced broad audiences to the landscapes of places like Arches, Canyonlands, and Colorado National Monument. He also published technical work on groundwater and hydrogeology, showing the range of his scientific interests.
His better-known books for general readers explain how rock layers, erosion, and deep time shaped the canyon country of Utah and Colorado. That mix of careful science and accessible writing is a big part of why his work has remained in circulation.
Available sources confirm his birth year, his death in 1992, and his long career in geology, but I could not reliably confirm more personal biographical details from the material I found during this search.
