The Geological Story Briefly Told: An Introduction to Geology for the General Reader and for Beginners in the Science - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
Sketches and sections serve a good purpose in illustrating the objects of which the science treats, but they do not set aside the necessity of seeing the objects themselves. The reader who has any interest in the subject should therefore go, for aid in his study, to the quarries, bluffs, or ledges of rocks in his vicinity, and all places that illustrate geological operations. At each locality accessible to him he should observe the kinds of rocks that there occur; whether they consist of layers or not; and their positions, whether the layers are horizontal, the positon they had when made; or whether inclined, a slope in the beds being evidence of a subterranean movement like that which takes place in mountain-making.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
