This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geology of the Quantock Hills and of Taunton and Bridgwater The area described in the present Memoir was comprised in the old series Geological Survey Map, Sheets 20 and 21. They formed portion of the "Ordnance Geological Map of Devon, with parts of Cornwall and Somerset," issued by De la Beche in 1834-35. This Map was revised by him in 1839, when the Carbonaceous series was separated from the Grauwacke series, to which the name Devonian was afterwards applied. The re-survey of the area was carried out almost wholly by Mr. Ussher on the same topographical sheets. The revision of the boundaries of the Palaeozoic rocks, and the mapping of the Secondary and Superficial deposits were undertaken between 1870 and 1876, small areas being surveyed near Taunton and Wiveliscombe by Mr. H. B. Woodward, and between Stogursey and Williton by the late Mr. J. H. Blake. To the prolonged researches of Mr. Ussher is due our detailed knowledge, both of the sub-divisions in the New Red Rocks, and of those in the Devonian system to which he has given special attention since the years 1879-80. Mr. Blake unfortunately left few notes on the area surveyed by him, but Mr. Woodward, who examined the areas of Lias, when preparing the Memoir on the Jurassic Rocks (Vol. III.), has contributed the chapter on that subject, and has co-operated with Mr. Ussher in preparing the chapter on Rhaetic Beds. Mr. H. H. Thomas has supplied notes on the mineral constituents of some of the New Red rocks, and Dr. J. S. Flett has given descriptions of the Igneous rocks. The lists of fossils have been revised in the Palaeontological Department. The new Map (Sheet 295) completes a set of three sheets on which the geological work has been transferred from the old to the new series one inch maps. As mentioned in the Preface to the adjacent sheet on the south (No. 311), the transference of the geological lines is not unlikely to be attended with some discrepancies due to the revised topography. The author desires to acknowledge information received from Mr. A. C. G. Cameron, with regard to the water-supply of Milverton, and from Mr. R. T. Foley, of the Somerset Trading Company with regard to the brick-works of Bridgwater. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Histories of Technology, the Environment and Modern Britain brings together historians with a wide range of interests to take a uniquely wide-lens view of how technology and the environment have been intimately and irreversibly entangled in Britain over the last 300 years. It combines, for the first time, two perspectives with much to say about Britain since the industrial revolution: the history of technology and environmental history. Technologies are modified environments, just as nature is to varying extents engineered. Furthermore, technologies and our living and non-living environment are both predominant material forms of organisation – and self-organisation – that surround and make us. Both have changed over time, in intersecting ways. Technologies discussed in the collection include bulldozers, submarine cables, automobiles, flood barriers, medical devices, museum displays and biotechnologies. Environments investigated include bogs, cities, farms, places of natural beauty and pollution, land and sea. The book explores this diversity but also offers an integrated framework for understanding these intersections.
