Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Geology Explained, and Viewed in Their Relations to Revealed and Natural Religion The writings of geologists are now in general circulation. They are read with much interest, and, at the same time, with not a little perplexity by the most enlightened section of Christian society. In my intercourse with young men of good education, I have found more of them disquieted in their minds, if not unsettled in their religious principles, by the results of geological investigation, than by any other difficulties attending revealed truth. In these circumstances, I have been compelled to give some attention to the subject, that I might 'be ready always to give an answer to every one that asked me a reason of the hope that is in me, with meekness and fear.'

Book excerpt: This is a discount Black and white version. Some images may be unclear, please see BCCampus website for the digital version.This book was born out of a 2014 meeting of earth science educators representing most of the universities and colleges in British Columbia, and nurtured by a widely shared frustration that many students are not thriving in courses because textbooks have become too expensive for them to buy. But the real inspiration comes from a fascination for the spectacular geology of western Canada and the many decades that the author spent exploring this region along with colleagues, students, family, and friends. My goal has been to provide an accessible and comprehensive guide to the important topics of geology, richly illustrated with examples from western Canada. Although this text is intended to complement a typical first-year course in physical geology, its contents could be applied to numerous other related courses.
