Book excerpt: Excerpt from Laboratory Exercises in Structural and Historical Geology a Laboratory Manual This manual is the third of a series of outlines for laboratory work in general geology. The first is a little manual based on topographic maps of the United States Geological Survey, designed for use in elementary courses in physiography, and the second is a similar manual for use in more advanced courses in physiographic geology. The present outline is based on folios of the United States Geological Survey, and is intended to accompany courses in historical and structural geology. The previously published manuals follow the general order of Salisbury's Physiography, and Chamberlin and Salisbury's Geology, Vol. I, respectively. This manual may be used to good purpose with Chamberlin and Salisbury's Earth History, Vols. II and III, but can be adapted to any other thorough-going text on historical geology. In presenting this manual to teachers, the authors believe that laboratory work, such as here outlined, has the same importance for students of geology, that the more familiar phases of laboratory work have for students of chemistry and physics, and that no course in geology, involving such topics as structural geology, the evolution of the North American Continent, or the geologic history of the various provinces of the United States, is adequate without an accompaniment of map work. They also believe that folios of the United States Geological Survey form the best basis for such work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
