About this book
Rounded stones, thin layers of shale and the mud carried by rivers become clues to the earth's past in James Geikie's elementary manual. Written for private study and classroom use, the book explains how rocks form and how their visible features can support geological reasoning. It begins with familiar materials such as gravel, sand and clay, then distinguishes the main classes of rock.
Water receives close attention as an agent of change: rivers lay down sediment, build terraces and gradually fill lakes. Examples from the Thames, Rhine and Lake Geneva connect the explanations to recognisable landscapes. Numbered sections and study questions give the manual a clear teaching structure.
