Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geological Sketches His edition of the Geological Sketches offers nothing new to the public. Taken in connection with the former one, it only pre sents in a permanent form and in their original sequence all the geological and glacial papers contributed by Professor Agassiz to the At lantic Monthly during a number of years. The series must still be considered as unfin ishod, since his own hope of adding to it a complete account of his investigations on the drift phenomena of our coast and its outlying islands was not fulfilled. The material, in the shape of rough notes and sketches, had long been accumulated, awaiting for careful revision the quiet hour which never came.

Download or read book Geology for General Readers written by Co-Director Media South Asia Project Institute of Development Studies David Page and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geology for General Readers: A Series of Popular Sketches in Geology During the last twenty years immense progress has been made in the dissemination of Geological knowledge, yet still the old cry, "It is so difficult, so full of technicalities, so hard to be understood." Now, without admitting that Geology is fuller of technicalities, or one whit more difficult to be understood, than other sciences, I have thought it worth while, in the present volume, to attempt a simple and familiar exposition of its leading truths and principles. Because some have made the same attempt and failed is no reason why I should not try; because it is fashionable in some quarters to sneer at popular sketches is no reason why I should be deterred from expressing my conviction that sketches of this kind are the only means by which the majority of people can acquire any knowledge of science, while in many instances they form the first steps even to those who subsequently profess to despise them.

Download or read book Fragments of Earth Lore written by James Geikie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fragments of Earth Lore: Sketches Addresses; Geological and Geographical The articles in this volume deal chiefly with the history of Glacial times and the origin of surface-features. As they were not written with any view to their subsequent appear ance in a collected form, each is so far independent and complete in itself. Under these circumstances some repeti tion was unavoidable, if the articles were not to be recast, and I did not think it advisable to make such radical alteration. With the exception of verbal changes and some excisions, therefore, the papers remain substantially in their original state. Here and there a foot-note has been added to indicate where the views expressed in the text have since been modified but I have not been careful to insert such notes throughout. Geologists, like other folk, live and learn, and the reader will probably discover that the opinions set forth in some of the later articles are occa.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketch of Geological Explorations in Pennsylvania and Other States To secure accuracy and completeness as far as possible for these published reports of my colleagues; to preserve harmony of nomenclature; to prevent the presentation of con icting hypotheses to furnish direction, advice, and assistance when demanded by parties in the field to draw and color, and superintend the drawing and correction of illustrations to arrange and write classified indexes for all the volumes and to read proof of every page going through the press, has been a ceaseless, anxious occupation, apart from the inevitable correspondence of the Survey. I have therefore no leisure to attempt a revision and cor rection of these pages now reprinted in a special edition, by order of the Legislature, for the service of the members. But I cannot let escape this opportunity for publishing a letter which I have received from Mr. Wm. B. Rogers, jr., of Philadelphia, to show that if I have done injustice to any one whose labors in science fall within the scope of my historical sketch, it has not been intentionally done.
