Sinossi
Excerpt from The Student's Lyell: The Principles and Methods of Geology, as Applied to the Investigation of the Past History of the Earth and Its Inhabitants
The size of the book of course precludes its being made an exhaustive treatise on geology, with full references to original memoirs; nor dare I anticipate that all my fellow-teachers will coincide with me in judgment as to what should be included in and what it is best to omit from a work with the scope and limits of the present one yet I venture to hope that the modifications, rearrangements, and additions now' introduced into the book have served to bring it up to date, and that teachers and students may alike find that it continues to be what Lyell made it - a convenient and trustworthy introduction to geological science.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the foundations of geology as a science and tells the story of how geology developed into a disciplined science through the pioneering work of Charles Lyell. It begins with the basic principles and methods of geology, including how to study and classify rocks, aqueous and volcanic. This book examines the succession and characteristics of sedimentary rocks, volcanic rocks, plutonic rocks, and metamorphic rocks, and details the different geological periods that are found within each type. The book is rounded out with a discussion of ore deposits, the formation of mountain chains, and the age of metamorphic rocks and ore deposits. By concluding with arguments for uniformitarianism, Lyell builds a solid foundation for further geological inquiry. This book is an indispensable guide to the fundamental principles of geology that continue to shape our understanding of the planet.
