For more on Shawe, see below. Very Good condition. Square and tight. Flat spine with NO creases. Hinges are perfect. NOT a library discard. NOT a remainder. Pages are bright white, crisp, clean and unmarked. Complete with all four folding geologic maps, 3 in color, in a pocket at the rear. The two largest of the color maps when unfolded measure 39 inches by 20 inches and 39 inches by 24 inches, respectively. Tables, figures, and more b/w maps in the text. Subtitle: "A description of the general geology and ore deposits of the district which forms the northwestern part of the important Central City-Idaho Springs mineralized area... Prepared on behalf of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission." Bound in the original olive drab color wraps, printed in black. Shawe is the author of Gold-bearing Polymetallic Veins and Replacement Deposits (1989); Introduction to geology and resources of gold, and geochemistry of gold; etc. From his obituary on the SME website: "Daniel Reeves Shawe, 92, of Lakewood, Colorado was an SME member and had a 44-year career as a geologist for the U.S. Geological Survey. Dan was born in Gardnerville, Nevada, on May 24, 1925, and grew up in this same small town, located in the Carson Valley just east of the Sierra Nevada Mountains… Dan received his higher education at Stanford University, obtaining a B.S. in geology in 1949, an M.S. in geology in 1950, and a Ph.D. in geology in 1953. In June of 1951, he embarked on a rewarding career as a field geologist for the U.S. Geological Survey, eventually mapping and studying mineral resources in many areas of the western United States, as well as in several foreign countries… Initially, Dan was stationed in Grand Junction, Colorado; however, in 1958, at the conclusion of the Colorado Plateau Uranium Program, he transferred to the Denver USGS office. He retired in January of 1995, continuing on into his 80s, as a Scientist Emeritus, completing reports related to his earlier field work. Specific projects in which Dan was involved over the course of his career included thorium reconnaissance and geologic mapping at Mountain Pass, California (1951-52); uranium exploration in the Slick Rock district of the Colorado Plateau (1953-58); geologic mapping in the Egan Range, Nevada (1958-60); mapping beryllium in volcanic rocks in the western U.S. (1961-65); serving as Chief of the Heavy Metals Branch (1966-69) and the Branch of Central Mineral Resources (1970-72); completing geologic studies of the Great Basin (1973-74); holding a temporary-duty assignment in Thailand, as well as preparing a report on the 'Geology and Mineral Resources of Thailand' and geologic mapping in the southern Toquima Range, Nevada (1974-95). In June of 1967, Dan and his colleague Barney Poole discovered large, high-grade deposits of bedded barite in East Northumberland Canyon in the northern Toquima Range. Dan received special recognition for his work both from the university he attended and from his geologist peers throughout his career; his awards included a B.S. with Great Distinction from Stanford in 1949 and the Federal Meritorious Service Award from the USGS in 1972.".
