Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Field Geology The first twelve chapters are concerned with the recognition and interpretation of geologic structures and topographic forms as they are observed. Here the aim has been to describe to gether phenomena which in certain respects resemble one another, but which may be of diverse origins. Where possible the treat ment has been empirical rather than genetic. In order to assist the reader in identifying various forms and structures, a number of tables or keys have been prepared. From the very nature of geology they can not be final or complete. They are presented with the hope that they may be of some value at least in showing what features to observe in the field. In the last six chapters are described methods of geologic surveying, the nature and construction of maps, sections, and block diagrams, the interpretation of topographic and geologic maps, the solution of certain geologic computations, and the preparation of geologic reports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Field-Geology AT the request of the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council on Education I gave, in the month of August, 1876, at South Kensington, two lectures upon geological maps and instruments of surveying. These lectures formed part of a series designed for teachers, and in illustration of the Loan Collection of Scientific Instru ments at that time exhibited. Treating the subject allotted to me in what seemed likely to prove the most useful manner, I dwelt more specially upon the methods of Observation requisite in ordinary field-geology and endeavoured to show how, by the practice of these methods, geological maps and sections, representing in condensed form the facts established by field-work, could be constructed. The lectures were published in pamphlet form later in the autumn of the same year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Field Geology Geological maps are just as necessary as ordinary maps of mine workings, and are not much harder to make When one knows how to go about it. It is the lack of this knowledge Which is a serious handicap to many mining men Who are naturally keen and intelligent observers, but Who fail to record and corre late their observations. They often carry an immense amount of geological data in their minds and make use of it When looking over their mine maps; but such mental pictures lack the graphic quality found only in good geologic maps and sections, Which usually meet With instant approval on the part of practical men. Geological literature usually deals With results rather than with the methods of obtaining them, and the terms employed are often of a highly technical nature, so that the text is more or less unintelligible to one Who has not had training in the subject.

Download or read book The Story of a Boulder written by Archibald Geikie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of a Boulder: Or Gleanings From the Note-Book of a Field Geologist The present Volume has been written among the rocks which it seeks to describe, during the intervals of leisure of a field geologist. Its composition has been carried on by snatches, often short and far apart, some of the descriptions having been jotted down on the spot by streamlet and hill-side, or in the quiet of old quarries 3 others, again, in railway-carriage or stage coach. By much the larger portion, however, has been written by the village fireside, after the field-work of the day was over - a season not the most favourable to any mental exercise, for weariness of body is apt to beget lassitude of mind. In short, were I to say that these Chapters have been as often thrown aside and resumed again as they contain. Paragraphs, the statement would probably not exceed the truth. But the erratic life of an itinerant student of science is attended with yet greater disadvantages. It entails an absence from all libraries, more especially scientific ones, and the number of works of reference admissible into his pared supellex must ever be few indeed. With these hindrances, can the writer venture to hope that what has thus been so disjointed and unconnected to him, will not seem equally so to his readers? Yet if his descriptions, written, as it were, face to face with Nature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Geology of Cincinnati and Vicinity Classic Reprint written by Nevin M. Fenneman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-10 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geology of Cincinnati and Vicinity It is not to be expected, however, that the benefits of such a treatise shall be confined to those who are sufficiently advanced to read and comprehend it without help. The writer of a book cannot do in it the work of the classroom, but it is hard to conceive of a teacher of any grade of Geography or Nature Study as knowing what is in this book and then keeping entirely away from these subjects in his daily work. Perhaps this is more true of the general chapters which lend themselves to Nature Study than of the chapters treating Specifically of this area. For the last five years, classes of teachers from Cincinnati and near by cities have spent their Saturday forenoons at the University or in the field, studying this subject. In the amount of previous information with which they approached the subject, and in the nature of the in struction required, these people have doubtless been good representatives of the intelligent teacher and the intelligent business man. Much that follows was written not only with this class of people in mind but with these very individuals in mind, not so much as they are now since studying the subject, but as they came with very little but the interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geology, Vol. 1: Physical Geology Mineralogy, Petrology, Stratigraphical Geology, Terrestrial Cosmogony, Palaeontology, and other lines of research, though they may fairly be looked upon as subdivisions of Geology, are fast becoming separate Sciences. But while it has become almost an absolute necessity for most Geologists to concentrate their attention on some one department of the science and be content with a less perfect grasp of the rest, there is yet a certain basis or groundwork, with which every one who meddles with Geology, whatever be the branch to which he specially devotes himself, must be acquainted if his work is to be sound. For want of a knowledge of this groundwork the Petrologist, looking merely to chemical and mineralogical composition, classes together rocks which differ totally in their origin or manner of occurrence the Palaeontologist pure and simple is apt to force into an unnatural connection, on account of similarity in fossils, formations which physical evidence shows ought to be kept widely apart; the Field Geologist is content with tracing boundaries on his map, and forgets to ask himself how his lines were produced and what they mean.

Book excerpt: Describes the methods, procedures, and specialized equipment of field work in geology and includes a guide to making maps of specific areas. A guide to advances in the increasingly broad and interpretive discipline of formation mapping theory. Thorough, yet compact enough for use in the field, it consists of brief descriptions of textures and structures useful in interpreting depositional environments, kinds of volcanic activity, and plutonic events and conditions. Included are procedures often reserved for the laboratory or office: staining rocks, correcting orientations of current indicators, constructing profile sections of folds, measuring strains, making photogeologic interpretations, and more. Covers pre-field considerations, methods of observation and measurement, recognition of key geologic features, and preparation of a report. Illustrated with composite drawings

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Red Sandstone: Or New Walks in an Old Field IN the autumn of last year, I sat down to write a few geo logical sketches for a newspaper; the accumulated facts of twenty years crowded upon me as I wrote, and the few sketches have expanded into a volume. Permit me, honored Sir, to dedicate this volume to you. Its imperfections are doubtless many, for it has been produced under many disadvan tages but it is not the men best qualified to decide regarding it whose criticisms I fear most; and I am especially desirous to bring it under your notice, as of all geologists the most thor oughly acquainted with those ancient formations which it pro fesses partially to describe. I am, besides, desirous it should be known, and this, I trust, from other motives than those of vanity, that, when prosecuting my humble researches in Oh scurity and solitude, the present President of the Geological Society did not deem it beneath him to evince an interest in the results to which they led, and to encourage and assist the inquirer with his advice. Accept, honored Sir, my sincere thanks for your kindness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
