Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines geology at various locations in Scotland, particularly in the Hebrides. The author did not use maps, but carefully made sketches (included in this volume) to illustrate the geological formations found in specific areas, such as trap veins, sandstone strata, granite, and more. These sketches are intended to primarily assist the reader's imagination and serve as a visual aid. The author acknowledges the limitations of his methods and how geology is still an emerging and evolving science. However, this volume presents an early attempt to record geological details in a way that allows others to envision these formations in the absence of detailed maps. 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.
