About This Book

A systematic survey of earth science maps major rock formations and fossil assemblages across Britain and parts of continental Europe, moving from ancient uplands through Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian, Oolite, Cretaceous, and Tertiary strata. The text treats coal and other mineral deposits, their distribution, and conditions of formation, and it addresses glacial and alpine phenomena. It reviews theories of organic life, extinction, and geological time, considers ideas about internal heat, and reflects on how geological evidence might be reconciled with a traditional creation narrative. A glossary clarifies technical terms.

About the Author

John Anderson

John Anderson was a British explorer and writer known for his detailed accounts of expeditions to Asia in the late 19th century. His notable work, "Mandalay to Momien," chronicles two significant expeditions to western China in 1868 and 1875, providing insights into the geography, culture, and challenges faced during these journeys. Anderson's writings contribute to the understanding of the region's historical context and the interactions between Western explorers and Eastern cultures. In addition to his travel narratives, he also explored themes of creation in his work "The Course of Creation," reflecting his diverse interests in both exploration and philosophical inquiry.
