Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cumberland Island is a national treasure. The largest of the Sea Islands along the Georgia coast, it is a history-filled place of astounding natural beauty. With a thoroughness unmatched by any previous account, Cumberland Island: A History chronicles five centuries of change to the landscape and its people from the days of the first Native Americans through the late-twentieth-century struggles between developers and conservationists. Author Mary Bullard, widely regarded as the person most knowledgeable about Cumberland Island, is a descendant of the Carnegie family, Cumberland's last owners before it was acquired by the federal government in 1972 and designated a National Seashore. Bullard's discussion of the Carnegie era on Cumberland is notable for its intimate glimpse into how the family's feelings toward the island bore upon Cumberland's destiny. Bullard draws on more than twenty years of research and travels about the island to describe how water, wind, and the cycles of nature continue to shape it and also how humans have imprinted themselves on the face of Cumberland across time--from the Timuca, Guale, and Mocamo Indians to the subsequent appearances of Spanish, French, African, British, and American inhabitants. The result is an engaging narrative in which discussions about tidal marshes, sea turtles, and wild horses are mixed with accounts of how the island functioned as a center for indigo, rice, cotton, fishing, and timber. Even frequent visitors and former residents will learn something new from Bullard's account of Cumberland Island.

Download or read book Geologic Guide to Cloudland Canyon State Park written by Martha M. Griffin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1983 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scenic Cloudland Canyon State Park, located on Lookout Mountain in Dade County, Georgia offers visitors one of the most spectacular panoramas in the area. Rugged and precipitous canyons, marked by dazzling waterfalls, plunge over 800 feet to the floor of Lookout Valley. The park is located in the Cumberland Plateau that forms the extreme northwestern corner of the state. The rocks of this plateau represent the late Paleozoic Era and range from 340 to 280 million years old. These rocks, originally deposited in open sea and coastal environments, have been subsequently altered by deformation and erosion into the dramatic configurations that exist today. The purpose of this guide is to interpret the exposed rocks of Cloudland Canyon as "readable" records of past events in the earth's history. Because this area represents deposits originally laid down adjacent to an ancient shoreline, examination of geologic processes at the modern coastline will serve as the key to identification of the rocks of the canyon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Geologic Monitoring is a practical, nontechnical guide for land managers, educators, and the public that synthesizes representative methods for monitoring short-term and long-term change in geologic features and landscapes. A prestigious group of subject-matter experts has carefully selected methods for monitoring sand dunes, caves and karst, rivers, geothermal features, glaciers, nearshore marine features, beaches and marshes, paleontological resources, permafrost, seismic activity, slope movements, and volcanic features and processes. Each chapter has an overview of the resource; summarizes features that could be monitored; describes methods for monitoring each feature ranging from low-cost, low-technology methods (that could be used for school groups) to higher cost, detailed monitoring methods requiring a high level of expertise; and presents one or more targeted case studies."--Publisher's description.
