Sinopsis
A clear, beginner-friendly guide to rocks, landscapes, and the forces that shape the planet.
Foundations of Earth: An Introductory Geology introduces the basics of how the world is built and how it changes. It explains what rocks are, how landscapes form, and the natural processes that sculpt the surface of our planet. Written for readers just starting out, it focuses on clear explanations and concrete examples. This edition guides you through the everyday ideas behind geology—without assuming prior study. You’ll learn the roles of rocks, weathering, erosion, and Earth’s history, and you’ll see how geologic thinking helps explain the world around you.
- How rocks form and transform, and the different rock types you’ll encounter.
- What shapes landscapes, from hills and valleys to coastlines and deserts.
- How wind, water, ice, and other forces move and wear away Earth’s materials.
- Terms and concepts presented in plain language with practical examples.

Reseña del editor
Excerpt from Syllabus of a Course of Lectures on Elementary Geology
The method of presentation followed in these lectures is not intended to be a strictly logical one from a geological point of view. It is not thought that the logic of the subject as a whole is of any particular importance to the student until he shall have gained a good general knowledge of geologi cal phenomena and of geological principles.
It is the aim to begin with those phenomena with which the average student is most likely to be familiar, and by using this familiarity to branch out so as to cover the whole field, in so far as it can be done in such an elementary course of lectures.
The order of presentation is approximately that followed in the text books.
