right now: Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau by R. Blakey and W. Ranney.
This book is a superb summary of past environments of deposition and the changing physiography of the southwestern U.S. through geologic time. The senior author, Ron Blakey, is an unsurpassed academic expert on this topic. Moreover, the book has high production standards, and it is lavishly illustrated with color images and detailed paleogeographic maps.
I rate it 5 out of 5 rock hammers!
