Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Mountain-Building: Three Articles Published in the North American Review, 1869-1871 The titles placed at the head of this article indicate three as characteristic books as could he selected from among the mass of publications devoted either to earthquakes alone or to earthquakes and volcanoes conjointly. In the last one on the list we have a fair specimen of a class of books which are becoming quite common, which mostly originate in France, are translated in England, and are reprinted here, and which, while pretending to be scientific, are, in reality, as far from having any claim to that character as possible. The principle on which these books are got up seems to be this: A number of showily designed and elegantly engraved wood-cuts are manufactured, and then some scientific penny-a-liner is hired to put together a text to match the pictures, no time being allowed for doing the work properly, even if the person selected were competent, which is rarely the case, the dominating idea being, evidently, to produce something which a not very critical public shall be tempted into buying, on account of the beauty of its mechanical execution, and with the incidental advantage of getting something scientific into the bargain.

Download or read book Volcanoes and Earthquakes written by Chiara Maria Petrone and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concise and engaging visual guide to Earth's most devastating natural forces: earthquakes, volcanoes, and plate tectonics One in 20 people in the world live within range of an active volcano. On average, Magnitude 2 and smaller earthquakes occur several hundred times a day worldwide. Volcanoes and Earthquakes explores the massive natural forces from within the Earth that greatly affect its surface, often with dramatic and long-lasting consequences. Written in an accessible style, and fully illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and maps, the book explains the violence of earthquakes and volcanoes that impact humankind, and the gradual continental drift and mountain building that have transformed the Earth over the 4.5 billion years of its existence. It details the processes that have and continue to form, destroy, and move the Earth's surface. The authors describe how the Earth formed, from the beginnings of the solar system to the growth of the continents as they are today, and delve deep into the Earth's core to explore what drives the plates and feeds volcanoes. The last chapter examines the changes in the tectonic processes that link the Earth's mass, water, atmosphere, and life, including the effects on climate, sea-level, and the distribution of plant and animal species. Volcanoes and Earthquakes is a powerful reminder of the impact of natural forces on our everyday lives.
