Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a record of the author's geological travels in Devonshire during the early 1800s, giving a detailed account of the geological phenomena the author observed while travelling through the county. The author, a catastrophist, believed that the Earth's crust had been formed through upheavals and collapses rather than through gradual evolution. The book, which is divided into nearly one thousand short chapters, provides many examples of such upheavals and collapses, particularly those observed in the strata around the various rivers and combes of the county. These observations are framed within the intellectual landscape of the time, which is discussed along the way. The book's insights on geology provide a valuable resource for understanding the way in which geologists of this era categorised and explained the evidence that they saw around them. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282145330_0
