Download or read book A Text Book of Geology written by W. Jerome Harrison and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of Geology: Intended as an Introduction to the Study of the Rocks and Their Contents This is nominally the fourth edition of a work which first appeared in 1889. But so many additions and alterations have been made that it is practically a new book. The changes were so extensive as to necessitate the resetting in new type of the entire work; and the publishers have taken advantage of this to introduce both larger and clearer type and a larger page. Many new illustrations have also been added, several of these being from photographs taken by myself especially for this book. In Geology, as in all the other sciences, constant and rapid progress is being made. The changes in, and additions to our knowledge of the rocks have been especially great in the strata which form the beginning and the end of the geological series respectively - O-the pre-cambrian and Cambrian Formations at the beginning, and the Glacial Series near the end. Special care has been devoted to bringing these portions of the book up to date. It has been remarked that geology cannot be learnt from boo but it is equally true that geology cannot be learnt without books. Certainly the rocks themselves are the best teachers, but it has taken thousands of years to acquire the power of interpreting the signs of those rocks, and the student must make himself master of the principal facts that the numerous workers in this field of knowledge have already collected. 1 would urge the student to go direct to nature.

They may be all sandstone, and Show the grains of sand distinctly under a pocket lens. One or more of the beds may contain smoothly worn pebbles, with sand - the same material that constitutes a gravel bed another may be a Shale, so soft and fine-grained that, if ground up and mixed with water, it will make mud suggesting that it might have been formed out of mud.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geology of to-Day: A Popular Introduction in Simple Language These limitations render it advisable to exclude or give but brief consideration to various problems of great current interest. For example, many most interesting suggestions have been made to explain mountain formation and the origin Of the internal heat of the earth by the phenomena of radio-activity. The nature of radium and the methods by which radio-activity are measured can only be explained by the introduction of advanced physics Which would take much Space to interpret. Moreover, the literature of the subject during the past few years has been marked by so many rapid changes of view, and many of the results are so inconsistent, that the popular discussion of their bear ings on geology may be delayed until the physicists have reached some more definite conclusions about the facts Of radio-activity which bear upon geological problems. The contributions to radio-active geology have already been very helpful; but this new branch of science is still so speculative that geologists may be excused from any immediate modification of their fundamental principles.
