Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed study of the geology and subsoils that define the landscape of the countryside surrounding London. At its heart is an illustrated map from 1905, carefully reproduced in color for this cloth edition, that demarcates the geological formations of the area covered in the book. The author begins by describing the natural evolution of the area, beginning with a large freshwater lake that existed millions of years ago. Over time, the lake bed was covered by a vast ocean before eventually being raised above sea level, leading to the rich diversity of terrains found in the region. The book delves into the distinct characteristics of each geological formation, including the composition, appearance, and historical significance of various types of soil, chalk, and sand. These diverse geological features have influenced the region's built environment, from the drainage systems to the construction materials used in its buildings. This book provides an accessible and informative guide to the fascinating geological history of this corner of England, offering insights into the forces that have shaped its landscape. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
