This presentation reviews the book by Geoscience Educator Christopher Cottrell titled: "The Enigma of the Carolina Bays - Uncovering the Secrets of an Ancient Landscape". Christopher is a geologist who places emphasis on the scientific method and raises important questions about the Carolina Bays, including their origin, and their time of formation. He considers the lack of information about the Carolina Bays in geology books as educational malpractice.
