This open access book contains a collection of rare geologic maps and figures made by Chinese geologists in the last century. Preserved in National Geological Archives of China, these artworks demonstrate the development and innovation of geological mapping technology in China in the past 100 years. The collections are highly scientific and artistic, with most of the hand-drawn maps featured with traditional Chinese painting techniques, while the newer ones being more accurate and embedded with more scientific information with the aid of computer techniques.

In this collection of essays, M. Dane (`Duke') Picard takes the reader on journeys across deserts, mountains, canyons, and rivers from the American Southwest to Italy and France. His blend of vivid description and humor evokes the rugged days of field petroleum geology in the Great Plains and pastel Badlands of Utah and Wyoming in the 1950s and later days unlocking the geological secrets of sandstone in the Rockies. Along the way, he pokes gentle fun at the academic life in stories that will make anyone smile who's ever sat on a faculty committee or chaired a professional meeting. The final essays on his travels through Provence and Italy are rich with details of the beauty and the history - both human and geological - of the regions. M.D. Picard is the author of numerous professional articles and books, and has served as president of the National Association of Geology Teachers, the Society of Sedimentary Geology, and the Rocky Mountain section of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. He is well known to the geological community for the essays and book reviews he has published over the last ten years in geoscience journals and magazines.

The book is divided in four parts. Part I presents Earth's materials and how they are created by geologic systems. Part II discusses the hydrologic system by examining subsystems chapter by chapter. Plate tectonics is the theme of Part III, with separate chapters on divergent, transform, and convergent boundaries, as well as mantle plumes--the subsystems of the tectonic system. In Part IV, the book looks back and applies the principles learned to see how Earth's resources formed and just how different Earth is when compared with other planets.

Rocks firmly anchored to the ground and rocks floating through space fascinate us. Jewelry, houses, and roads are just some of the ways we use what has been made from geologic processes to advance civilization. Whether scrambling over a rocky beach, or gazing at spectacular meteor showers, we can't get enough of geology! The Geology Bookwill teach you: What really carved the Grand Canyon. How thick the Earth's crust is. The varied features of the Earth's surface - from plains to peaks. How sedimentary deposition occurs through water, wind, and ice. Effects of erosion. Ways in which sediments become sedimentary rock. Fossilization and the age of the dinosaurs. The powerful effects of volcanic activity. Continental drift theory. Radioisotope and carbon dating. Geologic processes of the past. Our planet is a most suitable home. Its practical benefits are also enhanced by the sheer beauty of rolling hills, solitary plains, churning seas and rivers, and majestic mountains - all set in place by processes that are relevant to today's entire population of this spinning rock we call home.

Excerpt from The Geology of the Isle of Wight The onward progress of geological science during more than a quarter of a century since the first edition of the present Memoir appeared has not left the Isle of Wight unaffected. The geological formations on which the beauty of that fair Island so largely depends have been studied in great detail in all parts of the South of England, as well as in foreign countries. The coast sections of the Isle of Wight have even become subjects of discussion and controversy. When, therefore, the first edition of this Memoir was nearly exhausted, and it became necessary to undertake the preparation of a second edition, I felt that no satisfactory progress could be made in this task until the Map of the Island had been first revised and brought abreast of the present condition of Geology. The publication of the large Ordnance Survey Maps on the scale of six inches to a mile supplied for such a revision a far more accurate and convenient basis than was available at the time when the Island was originally mapped by the Geological Survey. Accordingly, Mr. Bristow, the Senior Director, to whom science is mainly indebted for the first Survey Map of the Isle of Wight, and for the Memoir descriptive of the structure of the Island, undertook the serious labour of superintending the preparation of new editions, both of Map and Memoir. In the following Prefatory Note supplied by him he has stated how this work has been carried on under his general supervision. The revision of the Map became in fact a re-survey of the Island, as all the lines were retraced on the ground. It is, however, due to Mr. Bristow to add that the main geological lines remain nearly as he mapped them more than 30 years ago. In the preparation of the present edition of the Memoir so many and important have been the changes required that the work might not unfairly be described as a new one. The revision alike of Map and Memoir has been made under Mr. Bristow's direction and with his co-operation, by two of the officers of the Survey, Mr. C. Reid, who took the tertiary area, and Mr. A. Strahan, who had assigned to him the Secondary Rocks. I have also myself personally visited the Island with Messrs, Reid and Strahan, and read over on the ground the proofs of the following chapters. I will here briefly mention some of the more important alterations and additions. In discussing the relations of the Wealden to the Upper Neocomian Rocks it is shown that these two groups are separated by a sharply-defined lithological demarcation, accompanied by a palæontological break.

Introducing Geology written by Graham Park and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2006 with Nature categories.

Our world is made of rock. Although much of the Earth's surface is covered by vegetation, concrete, or water, if one digs down far enough solid rock will always be found. Those who live in a landscape where rock outcrops are obvious will have wondered about the kind of rocks they are looking at and how they came to be where they are now. This introductory book explains in simple terms what geology can tell us about the world. Many objects of great beauty which excite our curiosity, such as crystals or fossils, are to be found by examining rocks. Those searching for and examining such objects gain much more by knowing how and when they originated. In particular, fossils-while interesting in themselves-demonstrate to us from their context in geological time, the biological evolution, and these clues give an insight into the origins of life on earth. This copiously illustrated book includes a glossary of terms.
