Synopsis
This book provides an introduction to the field of geology, focusing particularly on the descriptive geology of fossil-bearing stratified rocks and the broader knowledge that can be gleaned from them. The book is divided into three parts: the first provides basic principles, definitions, and a descriptive vocabulary for the classification of rocks and rock formation. The second part presents a descriptive geology of fossiliferous strata, while the third offers an account of practical applications of geology, such as mining and engineering. Thematic depth is achieved through the inclusion of information on the nature of igneous rocks, with a particular focus on volcanoes and volcanic activity. The author also discusses the broader implications of geology on the understanding of human history and the interrelationship between various scientific disciplines. The book is significant for the comprehensive overview it provides of the field of descriptive geology, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars alike.
