What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, Folding Maps, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce
The scarce first edition of this work from Scottish geologist and writer Archibald Geikie, claimed by the author to be the first attempt to elucidate in some detail the history of the topography of a country.
Illustrated with a colour folding map, and six plates. Collated, complete.
Divided into sections dedicated to the scenery of the Highlands, Southern Uplands, and Midland Valley, this work examines the geology of each region, including discussions of glaciers and icebergs, and the disappearance of the forests.
