Synopsis

Excerpt from The Physics of Earthquake Phenomena

Astronomy and Geology. The Folded Rock. Stresses and Strains. Bend ing Yielding Rupture. Flow of Solids - Adams and Nicolson. The Crust of the Earth. Isostasy. Elastic and Quasi-elastic.

IT is worthy of remark that the oldest science is Astronomy and the youngest Geology. Ages before any systematic attempt had been made to unravel the complexities of the structure of the earth on which we live, the human mind had grasped the scientific unity of the Cosmos.

The reason of this is not far to seek. It lies in the apparent simplicity of the celestial problem, which early disclosed itself to the gropings after knowledge of the ancient Chal deans, Akkadians, and Indians.
