Synopsis

Title: Outlines Of Structural Geology
Author/Publisher: E Sherbon Hills, Methuen & Co
Publication Year: 1959
Format: Illustrated Hardcover with Dust Jacket

Published in 1959 by Methuen & Co, 'Outlines Of Structural Geology' is a significant non-fiction academic textbook authored by E. Sherbon Hills. This work serves as a foundational overview of the principles of structural geology, a critical branch of earth science.

Targeted at an adult audience, the book delves into the study of the three-dimensional distribution of rock units and the complex processes of their deformation. It provides readers with essential insights into how Earth's crust is shaped by various geological forces, laying down the groundwork for understanding larger tectonic processes.

• Core Geological Principles: As an 'outline', the text systematically introduces core concepts and theories pertinent to structural geology, likely covering topics such as rock mechanics, folds, faults, and other fundamental geological structures, essential for both students and professionals.
• Visual Explanations: The inclusion of illustrations, a key attribute of this edition, would have been invaluable for elucidating complex three-dimensional geological concepts. Such visual aids are crucial for comprehending the intricate nature of rock deformation and structural relationships.

This original 1959 printing, complete with its dust jacket and featuring an 'Ex Libris' mark, positions it as a genuine piece of mid-20th-century scientific scholarship. It represents a compelling acquisition for collectors of historical scientific literature, particularly those with an interest in the evolution of geological study.
