The planet we live on The beginnings of the Earth Sciences
This book, like the others in the Series, is written in simple English the language most widely used in science and technology. It provides an introduction to the study of Earth science, but `Earth science' is interpreted differently in different countries. In some regions of the Earth, such as on the Pacific margins, it usually covers all the science relating to the Earth, including geology, meteorology, oceanography, geomorphology and soil science. It therefore covers much of physical geography in these regions, where geography is often not a strong school subject. In other countries `Earth science' has a rather narrower definition, largely covering only geology, whilst other aspects of `Earth science' are covered in geography. Nevertheless, wherever on Earth this book is being read, if you want to study `Earth science' in Higher Education, at College or University, you will study mainly geology. So this book has been written as an introductory guide to geology, to interest you in the subject and to enthuse you to study geology at higher levels.

Structural Geology Laboratory Manual
A structural geology laboratory manual comes always handy to anyone dealing with maps, cross-sections or stereograhic nets. This manual contains explanations and exercises on attitude measurements, true and apparent dips, three-point problems, stereographic projections, rotations with the stereonet, stereograms, geologic mapping and cross-section construction, thickness and outcrop problems ans statistical techniques.

This is a book by the Scottish geologist Charles Lyell. Lyell used geology throughout as a basis to strengthen his argument for Uniformitarianism.This book explains the geological state of the modern Earth by considering the long-term effects of observable natural phenomena.

New Theory of the Earth, is a book written by Don L. Anderson. This is an interdisciplinary advanced textbook on all aspects of the interior of the Earth and its origin, composition, and evolution: geophysics, geochemistry, dynamics, convection, mineralogy, volcanism, energetics and thermal history. This is the only book on the whole landscape of deep Earth processes that ties together all the strands of the subdisciplines.

This course note covers sediments in the rock cycle, production of sediments at the Earth's surface, physics and chemistry of sedimentary materials, and scale and geometry of near-surface sedimentary bodies, including aquifers. It also explores topics like sediment transport and deposition in modern sedimentary environments, burial and lithification, survey of major sedimentary rock types, stratigraphic relationships of sedimentary basins, and evolution of sedimentary processes through geologic time.

IN these days of specializing in " watertight compartments," the bearing of geology in relation to almost every branch of engineer-ing is very frequently neglected or ignored. A knowledge of geology is, however, of the first importance to the practical engineer, but it is difficult for him to study the application of this science to his requirements without having recourse to a large number of different textbooks and other works. References to geology which are often of the greatest practical importance are often almost hidden away or treated in an obscure fashion, where- as the engineer requires the needful information to be put before him in a clear and concise manner. To meet this want I have endeavoured to compile the requisite information in one volume, in the hope that it may serve as a handy book of reference. GEOLOGY is the science which investigates the history of the earth. It treats of the nature and formation of the rocks which form the solid framework of the globe ; of the agents which produce changes in these rocks ; and of the history of the past life, whose remains (fossils) are buried in them.
