Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book from the 1830s delves into the rapidly evolving discipline of physical geology, which was revolutionizing our understanding of earth's structure and history. The author begins by outlining the various classes of rocks that compose the earth, providing detailed descriptive analysis and naming conventions for each type. Key concepts of the time, such as the origin of mountains and the upwelling of molten material to the surface of the earth, are explored through detailed explanations and diagrams. The author also examines the age of the earth and the fossil record to provide conclusive evidence of an ancient, dynamic earth that had undergone multiple periods of upheaval and subsidence, with organisms evolving over vast stretches of geologic time. This book provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of the geological knowledge of the time, situating major theories within their intellectual context while also offering a framework for future discoveries.
