Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Coastal Evolution This book makes no pretentions to be a treatise on the evolution of coastlines. It is rather an attempt to consider the coast of England and Wales in the light of the theories on coastal development already so ably expounded by Prof. W. M. Davis, Prof. D. W. Johnson and M. Emm. de Martonne. It has been impossible to give an equal degree of attention to all parts of the English coast and to keep in touch in all cases with the most recent coastal changes. Libraries have not always been accessible nor visits to the coast feasible, and I am conscious that errors may well occur in the account of regions with which I am not personally very familiar. For such errors, more easily explained than excused, I should like to apologize here to those local workers who may detect them.

Book excerpt: Coasts are some of the most rapidly changing places on earth. Understanding the natural adjustments that occur between coastal landforms and the processes that influence them is essential for the better management of coastal resources. Coasts provides a necessary background in geomorphology for those studying coastal systems. It describes the landforms that occur on the coast, their responses to the processes that shape them, and the pattern of evolution that can be determined for different types of coast over thousands of years. Numerous examples from around the world are used to illustrate the variety of environments. Particular attention is paid to coastal morphodynamics, the co-adjustment of process and form, on rocky, reef, sandy, deltaic-estuarine and muddy coasts. This valuable text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students is well illustrated and contains an extensive reference section. It will also be of great interest to environmental scientists, geologists, coastal managers and planners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "...As author Lou Rosenblatt explains, the year 1832 in Darwin's life was crucial for the development of his theory of evolution. A century and a half of study of Darwin, the man, and his work, including close readings of his books, notebooks, letters, and even the books he read, has led to a working appreciation of his genius. The "success" of this account has, however, kept us from seeing several important issues: most notably, why did he pursue evolution in the first place? While this book is neither an almanac of 1832, nor a biography of Charles Darwin (though both are at the heart of Rosenblatt's work), Buckets from an English Sea offers a unique take on the factors that shaped Darwin's legendary theory and the making of him as a scientist..."--Dust jacket.

Download or read book The Evolution of Long Island a Story of Land and Sea Classic Reprint written by Ralph Henry Gabriel and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Long Island a Story of Land and Sea The writer of the present pages is not a Long Islander. It is with some hesitation, therefore, that he presents a work of this nature to people whose lives have been spent in that beautiful region. The study grew out of a problem that arose in a seminary given by Dr. Isaiah Bowman, when Assistant Professor of Geography in Yale University. Professor Max Farrand suggested that the problem be worked into a doctors dissertation. Under the supervision of these two men the dissertation was brought to completion. Since the time of its submission to the faculty of the Yale Graduate School, the work has been completely revised. My thanks are due, not only to the two men who with great generosity of time and suggestion saw the study through its early stages, but to the authorities of the Yale University Library, the New York Public Library, and the Long Island Historical Society. Mr. H.V. Smith kindly allowed me to use notes that he had collected on Long Island history. Professors Charles M.Andrews and Allen Johnson have made many useful suggestions. Finally, I wish to acknowledge the invaluable help rendered by my wife, whose criticism, encouragement, and practical assistance in the completion of the manuscript and reading of proof have played a large part in making possible the publication of this volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sovereignty of the Sea: An Historical Account of the Claims of England to the Dominion of the British Seas, and of the Evolution, of the Territorial Waters, With Special Reference to the Rights of Fishing, and the Naval Salute IN this book I have endeavoured to bring together from all available sources such information as exists as to the claims formerly made to the sovereignty of the British Seas, and to trace the evolution of the territorial waters in recent times. The work was originally undertaken with the intention of dealing only with these subjects so far as they related to the sea fisheries, but it soon became apparent that to restrict the scope in this way would involve considerable disadvantages, and would enable only a partial picture to be presented. For though during a large part of the period with which the book is concerned, the question of the fishery was the main question in determining the claim to sea sovereignty, and is the one of the greatest frequency at the present day with respect to the territorial waters, it was by no means the only one. The freedom of commerce to regions more or less remote; the jurisdiction of a State in the sea which washed its shores or which it claimed as belonging to it; the naval salute or homage to the flag, and various other matters, were commonly bound up with the question of the fisheries. It was therefore deemed more satisfactory to treat the subject as a whole, even though this necessarily involved much additional labour.

Download or read book Landscapes and Landforms of England and Wales written by Andrew Goudie and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-10 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the geomorphological diversity of England and Wales. These regions are characterised by an extraordinary range of landforms and landscapes, reflecting both the occurrence of many different rock types and drastic climatic changes over the last few million years, including ice sheet expansion and decay. The book begins by providing the geological and geomorphological context needed in order to understand this diversity in a relatively small area. In turn, it presents nearly thirty case studies on specific landscapes and landforms, all of which are landmarks in the territory discussed. These include the famous coastal cliffs and landslides, granite tors of Dartmoor, formerly glaciated mountains of Snowdonia and the Lake District, karst of Yorkshire, and many others. The geomorphology of London and the Thames is also included. Providing a unique reference guide to the geomorphology of England and Wales, the book is lavishly illustrated with diagrams, colour maps and photos, and written in an easy-to-read style. The contributing authors are distinguished geomorphologists with extensive experience in research, writing and communicating science to the public. The book will not only be of interest to geoscientists, but will also benefit specialists in landscape research, geoconservation, tourism and environmental protection.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Types of British Vegetation: By Members of the General Committee for the Survey and Study of British Vegetation The work Of systematically surveying vegetation and recording the results on vegetation maps was begun in Scotland by the late Robert Smith in the Closing years of last century, and continued by his brother, 1 G. Smith, and various other workers. In 1904 these workers formed a committee, with the somewhat ponderous title of The Central Committee for the Survey and Study Of British Vegetation, to organise and facilitate work on these lines.
