The Geoscience Information Society (GSIS) presented the 2015 Best Guidebook Award to the New Mexico Geological Society for our Guidebook, The Geology of the Route 66 Region, from the 64th Fall Field Conference in 2013! Congratulations to editors Kate Zeigler, J. Michael Timmons, Stacy Timmons, and Steve Semken, with special kudos to Brigitte Felix for the design and layout. This guidebook would not have been possible without all of the amazing contributors - we thank you! The award was accepted by Dr. Semken, an ethnogeologist and geoscience education researcher at Arizona State University. The Best Guidebook Award was established by GSIS to recognize and promote excellence in this important type of geoscience literature.
