Abstract
THIS account of the geological history of North America is intended for students and readers interested in the cultural aspect of the science. The author, like all geologists, believes that a knowledge of the major events in the history of the earth should be part of a liberal education. Since a new edition has been called for only three years after the first publication of the book, it appears that he has attracted the public he desires and deserves. This revised edition has been simplified by removal of some material (an all too rare operation in the preparation of new editions) and has been brought up to date, and better illustrations have been given where possible.
Historical Geology The Geologic History of North America.
