Book Synopsis Rising from the Plains by : John McPhee
Download or read book Rising from the Plains written by John McPhee and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulitzer Prize-winning author John McPhee continues his Annals of the Former World series about the geology of North America along the fortieth parallel with Rising from the Plains. This third volume presents another exciting geological excursion with an engaging account of life—past and present—in the high plains of Wyoming. Sometimes it is said of geologists that they reflect in their professional styles the sort of country in which they grew up. Nowhere could that be more true than in the life of a geologist born in the center of Wyoming and raised on an isolated ranch. This is the story of that ranch, soon after the turn of the twentieth century, and of David Love, the geologist who grew up there, at home with the composition of the high country in the way that someone growing up in a coastal harbor would be at home with the vagaries of the sea.

Book Synopsis Pocket Guide Geology in the Field by : Tom McCann
Download or read book Pocket Guide Geology in the Field written by Tom McCann and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a field guide that describes and explains the commonest minerals and rocks as well as introducing the most important fossil groups. In addition, a variety of geological structures are described and illustrated in the numerous diagrams and photographs. The guide is your perfect companion for hikes or walks in the countryside, inviting you to discover the geology hidden behind the landscapes surrounding us, as well as helping you to recognise the various minerals, rocks and fossils, you might encounter. Geology is a science that only really comes to life when we are outside, for example, on walks or hikes along the coast or through national parks. With a little knowledge you will be able to experience the landscape in a completely different way. The rocks will “come alive”, so to speak, and you will be able to read their history like a book - understanding the range and complexity of geological processes which have formed the Earth beneath our feet. Such processes - an interplay of magmatism, tectonics, metamorphosis and sedimentation, as well as climate and sea-level change - have shaped the Earth over millennia and continue to do so even at the present time. The book is aimed at nature lovers of all types, as well as students of geology – in fact, anyone who is interested in the world around us. It will provide the perfect companion for walks or hikes in the countryside. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Pocket Guide Geologie im Gelände by Tom McCann, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The initial translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent detailed revision by the author ensures that the book reads stylistically like a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
Book Synopsis Readings for Introduction to Geology (First Edition) by : Randye Rutberg
Download or read book Readings for Introduction to Geology (First Edition) written by Randye Rutberg and published by Cognella Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-31 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Literary Companion to Geology engages students of geology by exposing them to talented authors who are passionate about this subject matter. Cross-disciplinary in nature, the carefully curated readings have a narrative theme and convey the excitement of research and discovery. Each reading is a discrete unit that prompts reflection on the nature of science, the role of observation, experimentation, new technologies, and the impact of luck in the scientific process. Various aspects of geology are contextualized, enabling students to see the relationship between geology and other fields such as engineering, computer science, and anthropology. The readings address high-interest topics including the nature and value of science, abrupt climate change, the geology of New York City, and what really leads to casualties during earthquakes. Designed as a companion reader to main geology textbooks, A Literary Companion to Geology will inspire readers to master material in the primary text, and explore the books from which the readings are excerpted. This fresh take on geology instruction is well suited to introductory geology lecture and laboratory courses, historical geology, and geomorphology. Randye Rutberg, who holds a Ph.D. from the Department of Earth and Environmental Science at Columbia University, is an assistant professor in the Department of Geography at Hunter College, City University of New York. Dr. Rutberg is active in Climate Voices with the Science Speakers Network. Shruti Philips earned her Ph.D. in earth and environmental science at the Graduate School of the City University of New York, and is now a faculty member in the Department of Geography at Hunter College.

Book Synopsis A Geological Companion to Greece and the Aegean by : Michael Denis Higgins
Download or read book A Geological Companion to Greece and the Aegean written by Michael Denis Higgins and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the term geology in its broadest sense, Michael Denis Higgins and Reynold Higgins not only describe the bedrock and the geomorphology of Greece and the Aegean region but also discuss ancient sources of water, stone, and metals in relation to the development of settlements. They explore the links between archaeology and geology, asking how the geological environment shaped settlement in antiquity and how subsequent geological processes have influenced the preservation or destruction of ancient sites. The authors begin with an outline of the geological background and explain some of the geological controversies of the area. They catalogue what could be seen on the surface of the earth and consider, as well, the processes that resulted in those surface features. Their general survey is followed by the treatment of individual sites within settlements. A Geological Companion to Greece and the Aegean includes over 140 maps, as well as space-shuttle photographs, a glossary, and references to original sources. It will interest scholars and archaeologists and will also appeal to those who visit ancient sites and are eager to be fully informed.
