Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Elementary Geology: Designed Especially for the Interior States The distinctive feature of the following work is its limitations. It is designed for students and readers of the Interior States, and, consequently, for such has its chief references to home geology. The simplicity and regularity of the geological formations in these states render them singularly fitted to be illustrations of the science; and, moreover, the formations are rich in fossils beyond those of most other parts of the world. By thus limiting the scope of the work, it is believed that a much better book for beginners may be made than if far more were attempted. No work, however large, can fully set forth a science to which, for the last forty or fifty years, contributions have been made by hundreds of earnest workers in the Old World and the New. The problem has been to give enough, and that clearly, and not too much. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Elementary Geology: Or the Ancient Changes of the Earth and Its Inhabitants He was soon informed by Mr. Logan, at that time engaged in the geological survey of Canada, that the white sandstone above Montreal was really much older than the Old Red, or Devonian. It had in fact been ascertained many years before, by the State surveyors of New York (who called it the Potsdam to lie at the base of the whole Silurian series. As such it had been pointed out to me in 1841, in the valley of the Mohawk, by Mr. James Hall, * and its position was correctly described by Mr. Emmons, on the borders of Lake Champlain, where I examined it in 1842. It has there the character of a shallow water deposit, ripple-marked throughout a considerable thickness, and full of a species of Lingula. The flat valves of this shell, of a dark color, are so numerous, and so arranged in horizontal layers, as to play the part of mica, causing the rock to divide into laminae, as in some micaceous sandstones.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Geology of Tennessee We find, also, that they differ very much from each other in the manner in which they have been formed, or built up. Thus, in a railroad cut, we often see rocks in the form of beds, lying one above the other. In other places we find masses of rock, disconnected from all others, Without any regular form. Again, there is much difference in the consti tution of a bed of thin slate and a mass of compact marble. The structure of the rocks is therefore an important point to be considered in studying them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Syllabus of a Course of Lectures on Elementary Geology The method of presentation followed in these lectures is not intended to be a strictly logical one from a geological point of view. It is not thought that the logic of the subject as a whole is of any particular importance to the student until he shall have gained a good general knowledge of geologi cal phenomena and of geological principles. It is the aim to begin with those phenomena with which the average student is most likely to be familiar, and by using this familiarity to branch out so as to cover the whole field, in so far as it can be done in such an elementary course of lectures. The order of presentation is approximately that followed in the text books. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Elementary Course of Geology, Mineralogy, Physical Geography, Vol. 1 The First Edition of this work, published in 1850, having been, found adapted for a certain class of readers and students, the Author has been careful, in preparing a Second Edition, to adhere to those peculiarities of treatment in which it differs from other works hitherto published on Geology. He believes these to be first, its comprehensiveness, as including the elements of all departments of Geological science; secondly, its compactness, as bringing within a narrow space a great multi tude of facts important to be known; and thirdly, its method, as presenting those numerous facts in a convenient order. He is aware that these qualities are obtained at the sacrifice of a certain amount of popularity, and he can hardly h0pe to render very attractive to the general reader the accumulation of material which it has been his chief object not to dissipate. In preparing a new edition, he has shortened some parts of the work and considerably increased other parts, endeavouring to bring into a somewhat better proportion the various divisions of the subject. He has carefully modified the Mineralogy, retaining however in the main the former method of arrangement, which he believes to be the one best adapted for the Geological student; and he has greatly added to the list of synonyms, which now includes 1400 names.

This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Palaeontology for Geological Students In the following pages I have endeavoured to give an elementary account of Invertebrate Palaeontology, adapted to the requirements of geological students. With this object in view, I have devoted the greater part of the space at my disposal to a consideration of those groups of fossil animals which are most useful to the stratigraphist, and have treated very briefly, those which are of interest mainly to the zoologist. My plan has been to give, in each group, first an account of its general zoological features with a full description of the hard parts, secondly the classification and characters of those genera which are important geologically, and thirdly a sketch of the present and past distribution of the group. Since Palaeontology can be learnt only by students who have access to a collection of fossils, I have purposely refrained from using figures to illustrate genera, and have confined myself to those required to explain structure and terminology.

Download or read book Elementary Geology written by Edward Hitchcock and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Geology The steady demand for thirty editions of this work, during the last twenty years, has called for frequent revisions, lest it should fall behind the state of the science. In making the present revision - so rapidly has geology advanced of late - we found it desirable to rewrite nearly the whole, as we have done. We have also modified the plan not a little, to give it greater unity. Some of the old Sections have been left out, but more new ones added. The wood-cut illustrations have been increased from 208 to 418. We have tried to reduce the size of the work, by leaving out every thing not indispensable. But the great amount of new matter and of new illustrations, as well as the expansion of the typography to improve the appearance, have well nigh thwarted our efforts. We are aware that teachers sometimes can not find time to carry their pupils through the whole of a science which so abounds in facts and important applications as does geology. Two methods have been adopted by authors to meet this difficulty. One is, to leave out a large part of the science, and retain only the most striking and brilliant parts. But this is too much like attempting to perform the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out. And teachers and pupils ought to know, that the study of such abridgments does not make them acquainted with geology, which still remains to be learned.
