Originally published in 1905, this book provides an introductory guide to the 'scope and methods' of geology. Marr uses simple language to describe geological phenomena such as earthquakes and the erosive effects of the wind, sea, glaciers and rivers. The text is illustrated with diagrams and photographs.
