An Introduction to Geology: Comprising the Elements of the Science in Its Present Advanced State, and All the Recent Discoveries; With an Outline of the Geology of England and Wales (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book, by a respected authority on geology, presents an introduction to the science of the Earth's composition, its structure, and the history of its formation. It surveys the geological record from its earliest beginnings and uses evidence from fossils to show how the different strata of rock were formed. The author incorporates his own extensive field notes, along with the work of other prominent geologists, including Lehman, Werner, and Murchison, to present a comprehensive overview of the field. It documents remarkable geological phenomena such as the sudden transition of motion to distant parts of the Earth during earthquakes. It also includes a detailed analysis of the internal parts of the globe, based on the gravitational forces exerted by celestial bodies, which affirms the presence of solid matter at the Earth's core. This book provides a unique perspective on the formation and evolution of the Earth from a historical perspective and will be of great interest to those fascinated by the Earth's geological history and the techniques used to study them.
