This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Student's Handbook of Stratigraphical Geology Scope of the Subject - In most manuals of Geology this branch of the subject is called Stratigraphical Geology because it chiefly consists in the description of the great stratified series of rocks which make up the mass of the earth's crust. It is some times called Historical Geology, because it should comprise not only a description of the various rocks which were formed during each period of the world's history, but also some account of the forms of life which are entombed in these rocks, with a sketch of the physical geography of the earth during each period, and a notice of the changes in the relative position of land and sea which took place from time to time all this should be made as complete as the imperfection of the geological documents will allow. Neither designation is quite satisfactory, but either of them may be used so long as it is understood to mean a geological history - a collation of the knowledge acquired in all the other depart ments of the Science, and its application to elucidate the history of the earth, or of a portion of the earth, from the earliest time of which any records exist down to the time of human history. At present there are only a few limited areas of the earth's surface about which we have anything like a full stratigraphical knowledge, and much remains to be learnt even in the areas about which we know most. Geological History, therefore, is yet in its infancy; but enough is now known of the stratigraphical geology of Europe to make it possible to give an outline of its geological history, and American geologists are rapidly making it possible to do the same for North America. In this volume, however, we shall not travel beyond the limits of the British Islands, except where our own records are deficient, or where some knowledge of continental geology is necessary to the proper understanding of the changes that took place in Britain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Student's Handbook of Stratigraphical Geology This volume is based on the Student's Handbook of Historical Geology, published by Messrs. G. Bell and Sons, and may be regarded as a second edition of that book, but it has been entirely re-written, and its title is altered from Historical Geology to Stratigraphical Geology, because it is considered that the latter is the more customary designation of the subject, though the former is, strictly speaking, the more accurate and comprehensive term. Great advances have been made in Geology during the last fifteen years, and a much larger mass of information has to be considered by the compiler of such a handbook as this than was available prior to 1886. The labour of compilation is consequently greater, and yet there are still many parts of Great Britain which have not yet been completely explored, and there are still important questions upon which authorities differ, questions not only of nomenclature and grouping, but also regarding the actual age and correlation of certain rock-groups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Student's Manual of Geology The Author of this work had made some progress in the preparation of the present edition before the illness seized him by which he was removed from among us. Finding the task to be greater than, with his impaired health, he could accomplish, he asked me to relieve him of it; and I accord ingly undertook to prepare this re-issue. My labours, how ever, were unfortunately suspended for nearly a year in consequence of a fever caught among the volcanic islands of the Liparis. Hence the delay in the appearance of the work. The reader will observe, on comparing the present with former editions, that so many changes have been made that it may in some respects be regarded as a new book. A large mass of additional material has been added; but, by adopting a different mode of printing, this has been effected without adding to the bulk of the volume.

Download or read book Manual of Geology written by James D. Dana and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Geology: Treating of the Principles of the Science With Special Reference to American Geological History, for the Use of Colleges, Academies, and Schools of Science The Brief Synopsis of Appendix K. Is intended to facilitate the use of this Manual as a recitation-book. Lectures cannot well be wholly dispensed with in the instruction of Natural or Physical Science; but, with a work so full of illustrations as this, they may, with great advantage, be altogether subordinate to recitations, espe cially if the latter are accompanied with an exhibition of speci mens. Through the use of fine type for the details of the Science, the Manual is made to combine in one a small and a large book. The topics presented in the Synopsis are, with few exceptions, those of the former; and they are so prepared that each suggests a question. A cursory perusal of the details in the smaller type is, however, to be advised, as it will aid the student in acquiring precise ideas. Even in scientific schools it may be best that the student first go through the Manual with the Synopsis, and then, in a second course, take up the Palaeontology and Dynamics with greater thoroughness. Every Academy or other Institution teaching the Science should have, at least, a small collection of specimens. Even twenty-five dollars will purchase one (of Louis Seemann, Paris, 45 Rue St. Andre des-arts, or of Dr. A. Krantz, at Bonn on the Rhine) containing specimens of nearly all the mineral species mentioned in the Manual, and of the more common kinds of rocks, and another twenty-five dollars, a collection of fossils that would be of great service.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Student's Lyell: The Principles and Methods of Geology, as Applied to the Investigation of the Past History of the Earth and Its Inhabitants In spite of the expansion of the text and the intro duction into it of more than one hundred new illustrations, it has nevertheless been found possible, by using smaller type for certain portions, to avoid increasing the bulk or the cost of the volume. It is hoped, moreover, that this employ ment of different kinds of type will afford some assistance to the student. The beginner is advised, in his first perusal of the work, to devote his attention mainly to the portions printed in larger type; and afterwards, in entering upon its more serious study, to read the whole through continuously. It may be well to mention, too, that although, for the very cogent reasons urged by Lyell (see p. It is desirable in the first instance to study the newer and less altered strata before the older and greatly metamorphosed rocks, yet, in revising his studies at a later period, the reader may find it advantageous to take up the several systems in historical order.
