Synopsis

Discover the Earth in clear, accessible terms you can grasp today. This classic introduction to physiography presents the earth through a broad, engaging lens, blending scientific principles with practical explanations. Written as lectures from the late 19th century, it aims to provide accurate knowledge for the general reader and serves as a gentle entry point to geology, geography, and related sciences.

This edition outlines the book as a whole, with tables and lantern-slid references that support learning. It emphasizes the earth as a dynamic system—its formation, materials, atmosphere, oceans, and the forces shaping its surface—without assuming specialized prior study. Rich with illustrations, it invites readers to explore how scientists observe, classify, and reason about natural phenomena.

• Foundational ideas about science, measurement, and how knowledge is built.


• How the earth functions as a planet, including its form, movements, and layers.


• The composition and behavior of air, water, rocks, and minerals.


• An overview of energy, geology, and the evolution of the earth over time.

Ideal for readers new to geology, geography, or natural science, and anyone curious about how scientists study the physical world.

The Earth. An Introduction to Physiography by Evan W. Small, M.A. (Cantab.) with illustrations. Published by Methuen in 1894.

A propos du livre

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.
