New Text-Book of Geology: Designed for Schools and Academies (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from New Text-Book of Geology: Designed for Schools and Academies
In preparing this Text-book of Geology, the general plan of my Manual has been retained. The science is not made a dry account of rocks and their fossils, but a history of the earth's continents, seas, strata, mountains, climates, and living races; and this history is illustrated, so far as the case admits, by means of American facts, without, however, overlooking those of other continents, and especially of Great Britain and Europe.
In this Fourth Edition, fifty pages have been added to the size of the work, in order to render the explanations, simpler and more complete, and to give also a fuller account of the kinds of life which contribute to rock-making, of the geographical distribution of marine species, and of the depths of the seas. Each of these topics is illustrated by new cuts, and the last by a general map showing the depth of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by bathymetric lines, based mainly on that of Mr. H. N. Moseley, of the Challenger expedition. The map of the vicinity of Naples is from Murray's Handbook.
