Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed for the undergraduate, introductory environmental geology course for majors and non-majors alike, Environmental Geology Today presents the core geological principles and explores the effects of humanity on the physical environment. Contemporary case studies throughout encourage students to use their critical thinking skills to dissect the subject matter as part of their overall analysis. The numerous case studies are drawn from topical current events that relate to the chapter material and contain numerical data. Using simple math, graphing, and critical thinking, the authors challenge students to analyze aspects of the data, honing their basic math and analytical skills. With a focus on teaching students to think critically about our environment, Environmental Geology Today is a fresh and modern exploration of this ever-evolving field.

Book excerpt: From the PREFACE. THE Geology of To-day! The title appals me. Modern geology is the result of more than a century's work by innumerable and indefatigable pioneers working in all parts of the earth. Their discoveries and researches are written in all the languages of the civilized world, and geological literature is so voluminous that no one can read it all. The Geological Society of London the parent of geological societies publishes an annual index of the literature added to its library; the index for 19 n included literature published in 582 magazines, journals, and other serials, and a total of over 2,500 books, papers, and memoirs. A geologist would have to read eight works a day to keep up with current literature. Such a task is impossible ; and it would be wasted labour, for a man who attempted it would have no time to use the knowledge thus laboriously acquired. A geologist can only hope, by aid of annual indexes and catalogues of new literature, to find the contributions to his own special lines of research; he will have to acquire a slight acquaintance with the main conclusions of the science as a whole through reviews, summaries of progress, and conversation with his col- leagues. A full digest of modern geology would be impossible in the space of a book of this size, and it would also be comparatively useless to a general reader. Much geological work is of only local and temporary interest. Many geologists are making geological bricks, some of which will be used, while others may lie neglected on the field where they were made, or be abandoned on some scientific wayside. Works on architecture describe the established styles of buildings, but do not deal with brick-making and cement-making; similarly, a sketch of current geology need not refer to the work of all the geological pioneers and roadmakers, but it should state the general results of contemporary work and indicate the lines which are to-day of especial interest and promise for the progress of geologic thought. The reader who does not understand the technical language used by the actual craftsmen must accept several limitations in his course of study. Some branches of geology deal with such unfamiliar ideas and materials that they cannot be considered without the use of many technical terms, and of more preliminary explanation than can be given in such a treatise as this.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This market-leading textbook has been fully updated in response to extensive user feedback. It includes a new chapter on joints and veins, additional examples from around the world, stunning new field photos, and extended online resources with new animations and exercises. The book's practical emphasis, hugely popular in the first edition, features applications in the upper crust, including petroleum and groundwater geology, highlighting the importance of structural geology in exploration and exploitation of petroleum and water resources. Carefully designed full-colour illustrations work closely with the text to support student learning, and are supplemented with high-quality photos from around the world. Examples and parallels drawn from practical everyday situations engage students, and end-of chapter review questions help them to check their understanding. Updated e-learning modules are available online (www.cambridge.org/fossen2e) and further reinforce key topics using summaries, innovative animations to bring concepts to life, and additional examples and figures.
Download or read book The Geology Book written by Dr. John D. Morris and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 2000-10-01 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rocks firmly anchored to the ground and rocks floating through space fascinate us. Jewelry, houses, and roads are just some of the ways we use what has been made from geologic processes to advance civilization. Whether scrambling over a rocky beach, or gazing at spectacular meteor showers, we can't get enough of geology! The Geology Bookwill teach you: What really carved the Grand Canyon. How thick the Earth's crust is. The varied features of the Earth's surface - from plains to peaks. How sedimentary deposition occurs through water, wind, and ice. Effects of erosion. Ways in which sediments become sedimentary rock. Fossilization and the age of the dinosaurs. The powerful effects of volcanic activity. Continental drift theory. Radioisotope and carbon dating. Geologic processes of the past. Our planet is a most suitable home. Its practical benefits are also enhanced by the sheer beauty of rolling hills, solitary plains, churning seas and rivers, and majestic mountains - all set in place by processes that are relevant to today's entire population of this spinning rock we call home.

Download or read book Geology of the Pacific Northwest written by William N. Orr and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2006-12-04 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The geologic history of the Pacific Northwest is as unique as the region itself. Created via tectonic plate movements and accretionary events, the original terranes were subsequently covered by sedimentary layers, ash, lavas, and glacial debris. These processes, begun millions of years ago, continue to affect the area, as seen in the eruption of Mount St. Helens and catastrophic Japanese tsunamis created by earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest. Understanding of the regions geology has led to new insight in volcanic eruption prediction, disaster preparedness, the environmental effects of mining, and urban development as it relates to geologic hazards. The Orrs detailed and informative writing style appeals to those with geologic training as well as beginners with an interest in the region. Each chapter covers a specific subregion, allowing for maximum flexibility both in the classroom and for the casual reader. The authors central theme that continental plate tectonics are the fundamental processes of Northwest geologic history permeates throughout the book.
