Download or read book The Highlands Controversy written by David R. Oldroyd and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1990-07-25 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Highlands Controversy is a rich and perceptive account of the third and last major dispute in nineteenth-century geology stemming from the work of Sir Roderick Murchison. The earlier Devonian and Cambrian-Silurian controversies centered on whether the strata of Devon and Wales should be classified by lithological or paleontological criteria, but the Highlands dispute arose from the difficulties the Scottish Highlands presented to geologists who were just learning to decipher the very complex processes of mountain building and metamorphism. David Oldroyd follows this controversy into the last years of the nineteenth century, as geology was transformed by increasing professionalization and by the development of new field and laboratory techniques. In telling this story, Oldroyd's aim is to analyze how scientific knowledge is constructed within a competitive scientific community—how theory, empirical findings, and social factors interact in the formation of knowledge. Oldroyd uses archival material and his own extensive reconstruction of the nineteenth-century fieldwork in a case study showing how detailed maps and sections made it possible to understand the exceptionally complex geological structure of the Highlands An invaluable addition to the history of geology, The Highlands Controversy also makes important contributions to our understanding of the social and conceptual processes of scientific work, especially in times of heated dispute.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book guides readers through the most iconic geologically significant scenery in the UK, points out features of interest, explains what they are, and describes how these features came to be. It illustrates numerous regions, explaining classic locations in the development of geology and paleontology in the United Kingdom, giving readers a tour through sites of special scientific interest. The author puts the geology of Britain in a plate tectonic context and discusses the history of sedimentary basins, mountain building, volcanism, and glacial features. Features Clearly explains the geology of regions with emphasis on landscape formation Lavishly illustrated with numerous colorful maps and breathtaking geological landscapes and their various features Describes the major geologic features of the United Kingdom through the device of a geologic tour for those without any geology training as well as professionals Written in easy-to-understand language, the author brings his own experience to readers who want to explore and understand geologic sites firsthand The United Kingdom’s Natural Wonders is an inviting text giving individuals with no background in geology the opportunity to understand key geologic aspects of local landscapes. It also serves as a guide to undergraduate- and graduate-level students taking courses in earth science programs, such as geology, geophysics, geochemistry, mining engineering, and petroleum engineering. Teachers of these courses can also use this book to better understand their local geologic environment and geography.

Book excerpt: Scotland is home to some of the most amazing and important geology in the world. And there is no need to trek miles across desert sands and rappel down steep cliffs to see it. Many of Scotland’s most significant geological sites can be seen along its major highways—if you know where to look and understand what you are looking at. Rocks on Wheels to the rescue! RXoW takes you to thirty-six road or path accessible sites (stops) on six different excursions (trips) and explains the geology you see there so nongeologists can understand it. RXoW brings Scotland’s rocks to life! This is no small feat considering that many of them are billions of years old.

Download or read book The Geology of Scotland, 4th edition written by N. H. Trewin and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2003-02-24 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 4th edition of The Geology of Scotland is greatly expanded from the previous edition with 34 authors contributing to 20 chapters. A new format has been adopted to provide a different perspective on the geology of Scotland. A brief introduction is followed by a chapter outlining some of the important historical aspects that in the 19th century placed Scottish geologists in the forefront of a new science. Scotland is constructed from a number of terranes that finally combined in roughly their present positions prior to about 410 million years ago. Thus the geology of each terrane is described up the time of amalgamation, providing chapters on the Southern Uplands, Midland Valley, Highlands, Grampian and Hebridean terranes. At the end of this section, a brief synthesis summarizes the events that resulted in the amalgamation of the various terranes into the present configuration. Traditional practice is followed in the description of the Old Red Sandstone, Carboniferous, Permo-Trias, Jurassic, Cretaceous, tertiary and Quaternary strata. A separate chapter covers Tertiary igneous rocks. An attempt is made to tell the story of the geological evolution of Scotland, rather than catalogue all areas and formations. Priority is given to the onshore geology, encouraging the reader to go into the field and visit some of the world-class geology on show in Scotland. The chapters are broadly-based, attempting to integrate the sedimentary and igneous histories, and summarize changes in palaeogeography and palaeoenvironments. Economic aspects are covered with chapters on Metalliferous Minerals, Bulk Resources, Coal and Hydrocarbons. A new departure is the chapter on aspects of Environmental Geology and sustainability. Additionally, this publication contains a colour section of 32 plates, illustrating aspects of Scottish Geology, as well as a coloured geological map of Scotland.
