Abstract
THIS book deals with earth sciences other than their applied aspects. It gives a general account oi the origin nature and features of the earth, its hydrosphere and atmosphere and a brief account of the solar system. Inevitably it covers much of the main field of text-books physical geology and No geography. No specialized knowledge is assumed, but technical terms have crept in here and there. It is designed to bring a wider appreciation of the more striking aspects of recent research, and is generally a well balanced presentation.
