Publisher's Synopsis

""Town Geology"" is a book written by Charles Kingsley that explores the geological history of towns and cities. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part discussing the geology of London and the second part exploring the geology of other towns and cities throughout England. Kingsley uses his extensive knowledge of geology to explain how the geological makeup of these places has influenced their development over time. He discusses the different types of rocks and minerals found in each location and how they have been used in construction and industry. Throughout the book, Kingsley also touches on the impact that human activity has had on the geology of these places, including the effects of mining and quarrying. He also discusses the ways in which geology can be used to predict and prevent natural disasters such as landslides and earthquakes. Overall, ""Town Geology"" is a fascinating read for anyone interested in geology, history, or urban development. It provides a unique perspective on the places we live and work, and the geological forces that shape our world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
