Historical Geology by Jon M. Poort,Roseann J. Carlson Pdf

This book covers topics essential to historical geology. The manual presents fundamental concepts of historical geology by providing realistic situations to which geologic concepts and data apply. 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.

Interpreting Earth History by Scott Ritter,Morris Petersen Pdf

Historical geology courses require clear, practical examinations of pertinent concepts and procedures. The authors of Interpreting Earth History provide full-color, stand-alone exercises that identify and augment the critical features that make the identification of geologic formations possible. The Ninth Edition continues a legacy of exceptional coverage, providing the flexibility and scope necessary to engage students with geological data from a variety of sources and scales to explain geological patterns. Students will become more proficient in their ability to see and recognize geological patterns as well as the compositional and textural attributes of rocks and fossils. This classroom-tested laboratory manual has been updated and now includes an exercise that addresses the concept of climate change from the perspective of deep time.

An Introduction to Historical Geology, with Special Reference to North Americ by William J. (William John) Miller Pdf

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
