Download or read book Geo Texas written by Eric R. Swanson and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geo-Texas succeeds in bringing together astronomy, geology, meteorology, oceanography, and environmental studies in a highly informative, one-of-a-kind guide to Earth sciences in the Lone Star State. Eric R. Swanson draws on the latest scientific findings in treating the natural history of Texas from the oldest known rock, through the age of the dinosaurs, to the geologic present, from the early development of Texas' water and land resources to the current crisis of environmental pollution. In examining Texas natural sciences-and the abiding connection between Texans and their physical surroundings-Geo-Texas is engagingly anecdotal and draws freely on the wry humor with which Texans have always observed and regarded their environment. Entertaining accounts of natural phenomena, such as a meteorite scoring a direct hit on a swimming pool and a Texas twister sweeping up a farmer and returning him to earth unharmed, supplement the scholarship in each chapter to show how cultural and scientific issues converge. Students and teachers of Texas Earth science will find Geo-Texas indispensable. With more than eighty illustrations and valuable appendices listing rock hound clubs, Earth science organizations, and points of interest throughout the state, Geo-Texas will also appeal to the general reader and serve as the Earth science guide for lovers of Texas and its multifaceted environment.

This book was released on 2014-10-03 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conservation and development of natural resources are issues of critical importance throughout the world. These issues have been matters of public concern in Texas since legislators first adopted the state-sponsored geological survey as a means of extending government funds to private citizens who would help develop and advertise the mineral and agricultural wealth of Texas. Walter Keene Ferguson examines the relation of politics to geological exploration during a critical period in Texas history—the first half-century of statehood. Although Texas shared its frontier experience with many other areas, it could not rely on federal aid in the form of land grants because the state government controlled the destiny of the public domain at all times. Acrimonious debate between farmers and urbanites of East Texas and pioneer ranchers of arid West Texas rendered the disposition of public lands even more difficult. As tools for developing and advertising resources, the geological and agricultural surveys of 1858 and 1867 fulfilled the demands of expectant capitalism made by politicians, speculators, and railroad entrepreneurs. Reconnaissance geologists publicized the wealth of Texas. Drought in 1886 and popular agitation against squandering of state land caused the emergence of a new concept of the geological survey as an instrument of land reform and public assistance. Lobbying by reformers and scientific organizations led to the formation of the Dumble Survey in 1888 and the University of Texas Mineral Survey in 1901. Stratigraphic analysis of the “individualities” of Texas geology helped the state realize its full economic potential and led to legislation to protect public mineral land from exploitation. The youthful oil industry finally removed geological exploration from the political arena. As part of the University, a permanent Bureau of Economic Geology was established in 1909 to extend the benefits of scientific research to private citizens and state organizations on a nonpartisan basis. Ferguson’s analysis of geological surveys in Texas contributes to an understanding not only of the geology and history of the state but of the urgent problem of evaluating the natural resources of underdeveloped regions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Partial Report on the Geology of Western Texas: Consisting of a General Geological Report and a Journal of Geological Observations Along the Routes Traveled by the Expedition Between Indianola, Texas, and the Valley of the Mimbres, New Mexico, During the Years 1855 and 1856; With an Appendix Giving A D The papers here given to the public consist, first, of "A Journal of Geological Observations along the routes traveled by the Expedition between Indianola, on the Gulf of Mexico, and the Valley of the Mim-bres, New Mexico," in 1855 and '56; secondly, "A General Geological Report" thereon; and, thirdly, an Appendix embodying a detailed report on the Geology of Grayson County. They are from the hitherto unpublished manuscripts of Prof. George G. Shumard, who was Assistant State Geologist at that time to Prof. B. F. Shumard, the Chief of the Geological Survey which had been authorized and ordered by the State, but which was never completed in consequence of the breaking out of the war between the States. These papers were probably intended as notes, or rather as the basis for more careful and elaborate official reports to the Chief Executive of the State, and the Legislature. Although they cover comparatively a very small portion of our Imperial State, they contain a great deal of scientific and what may be called "field note" information of the highest practical importance, not only to Western Texas, the Prairies and the Great Plains, to which they chiefly refer, but also to the entire State. No friend of Texas can read these somewhat crude but sensible documents without experiencing a feeling of deep regret that they were not officially printed and published to the world when first prepared, for it is apparent that the facts and information, scientific and practical, that they so clearly bring to view, would have been of inestimable service to a generation then in its prime, but now passing away; the knowledge contained in them would have then led to a development of both the mineral and agricultural wealth of the State, which has been retarded for years. For example, on the second page of the accompanying "General Geological Report" on Western Texas, the reader encounters the following brief but expressive paragraph: "Many of the soils encountered upon the Plains are found to possess About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
