Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an outline of the salient features of geology, organized not by technicality but by theme: the history of the Earth. The authors believe that the history of the Earth is best understood through the processes and forces in action today and the results those forces bring about. Study of those topics prepares the reader to understand the history of past ages, and to critically and intelligently welcome advances in knowledge and interpretation as they happen. The authors have emphasized the historical element throughout, even in discussions of special themes such as snow and ice or the origin of rocks, to give a sense of the constant flux of the Earth's structure. The provided references guide readers who want to delve more deeply into specific topics, making this book an effective jumping-off point for both students who need a broad overview and specialists interested in particular aspects of the field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
