Book excerpt: Geology as a science has a fascinating and controversial history. Kieran D. O'Hara's book provides a brief and accessible account of the major events in the history of geology over the last two hundred years, from early theories of Earth structure during the Reformation, through major controversies over the age of the Earth during the Industrial Revolution, to the more recent twentieth-century development of plate tectonic theory, and on to current ideas concerning the Anthropocene. Most chapters include a short 'text box' providing more technical and detailed elaborations on selected topics. The book also includes a history of the geology of the Moon, a topic not normally included in books on the history of geology. The book will appeal to students of Earth science, researchers in geology who wish to learn more about the history of their subject, and general readers interested in the history of science.

Download or read book Geology written by William H. Matthews and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geology gives a detailed study of rock-forming minerals and the rocks that are formed by it. The text analyses the forces which act on and within rocks. This subject belongs to physical geology. Historical geology is also covered in the book. This study explores the fossil content of the rock and reconstructs the earth’s history over the past million years. The subjects encourage the reader to go out and examine his surroundings. First chapter of the book focuses on the description of earth. Topics such as the shape, size, and motions of the earth are discussed. The second chapter of the text covers the chemical composition of minerals. Crystal system, crystallography, and crystal habits are included in the chapter. The physical properties and different types of minerals are also analyzed. Volcanism and all aspects of volcanoes are reviewed. The formation of soil and weathering is the topic of another chapter. The book will provide useful information to geologists, mineralogists, volcanologists, students and researchers of geology.

This application of principles to concrete situations and practical problems instills a strong sense of the purpose of geologic study. KEY TOPICS: This book allows readers to visualize how geologic data are collected, tabulated, synthesized, interpreted, and applied to real-world geologic problems. Covering important concepts of ordering geological events and physical stratigraphy, the book also provides sections on plate tectonics and paleontology as well as extensive geologic maps with explanations. The fifth edition of Historical Geology, Interpretations and Applications has been revised to include new problems and a relocation of some problems closer to their explanatory material. It also includes four new geologic maps that cover geologic features in greater detail. A valuable reference book for any reader interested in historical geology.

Book Synopsis A Short History of Geomorphology by : Keith J. Tinkler
Download or read book A Short History of Geomorphology written by Keith J. Tinkler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-10 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1985, is a comprehensive guide to the main ideas in the history of geomorphology. It traces the development of thinking on landforms, with material ranging from the ancient world to the present day. The main areas covered are the Renaissance, the explosive growth of the Natural Sciences in the nineteenth century and the impact of the Second World War. The papers and theories of specialists like James Hutton, John Playfair and W.M. Davies are presented and discussed and the final chapters reflect on future change, based on the past and speculation on possible developments. Balance is maintained between the dual importance and dominance of English and North American contributions to the subject, and quite substantial research was undertaken to provide a more complete approach to some areas hitherto neglected.

Book Synopsis Geologists and the History of Geology: Index by : William Antony S. Sarjeant
Download or read book Geologists and the History of Geology: Index written by William Antony S. Sarjeant and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text provides a bibliography of publications on the history of geology written in the Latin alphabet. It is a detailed bibliographic listing covering both major and minor publications about all facets of the origin and growth of geology; its societies, associations and collections; the lives of those who built the science of geology; and the history of the petroleum industry. A useful aspect of this work is the separation of other studies into such topics as general histories of geology, histories related to specific countries, specialties, scientific societies, related fields such as chemistry, and even epic voyages related to geology. It has broadened the geographic and language coverage in the new volumes by the addition of much new material from Hungary, Turkey and Italy.
