AIPG Member Announces Recently Published Book
Mountains, Minerals, and Me: Thirteen Years Revealing Earth’s Mysteries, a book by Albert L. Lamarre, 2015, available online now
Recently I have seen a lot of interest expressed about the subject of criti- cal geologic skills required of today’s geoscience students. I think I can con- tribute to that dialogue.
Although not meant to be self-serv- ing, I recently published my memoirs describing my thirteen years as a min- erals exploration geologist. It occurs to me that this book may provide some insight into what is expected of young geologists who have recently joined the workforce and what skills they should have.
In the book I describe in detail the daily experiences I encountered as I progressed from being a really green summer field assistant to being a wet-behind-the-ears college graduate employed by a major mining company. You can follow me as I transition from serving as a geologic field assistant who

did mostly what I was told, to serving independently as the district manager of the company’s southwest district field office responsible for supervising other geologists as they did their work. Each day between these two extremes I used the critical geologic skills I had learned in college. I can honestly say that with- out these skills my career would not have been the success that it was.
In Mountains, Minerals, and Me I describe the thrills and adventures I had as a young exploration geologist as I learned not only about the rocks I was exploring but about myself. I think students would enjoy reading about this journey as I vividly recount my first exposure to the geologic wonders of the western United States, the unforget- table characters I met along the way, and the scenic wonders of beautiful landscapes in which I worked.
I am reminded of that famous book Oh, the Places You’ll Go, written by Dartmouth College alumnus “Dr. Seuss.” My minerals exploration career
took me to places I had never dreamed of seeing and, in many cases, places I had never even heard of. When I was at Dartmouth and decided to major in geol- ogy, it never occurred to me the extent of adventures I would have, the places I would see, the science I would study, and the fascinating people I would come to know. And I never expected that through my work I would make a con- tribution, however slight, to the coun- try’s economic well-being. I’m happy to say that my love of geology, traveling, and adventure continues to reward me today. I never regretted taking the road less traveled.
I submit this with the intent that students will consider the book to be a resource as they advance through their educational careers and into employ- ment.
