TAILIEUCHUNG - GEOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS ON SOUTH AMERICA by CHARLES DARWIN

Although in some respects more technical in their subjects and style than Darwin's "Journal," the books here reprinted will never lose their value and interest for the originality of the observations they contain. Many parts of them are admirably adapted for giving an insight into problems regarding the structure and changes of the earth's surface, and in fact they form a charming introduction to physical geology and physiography in their application to special domains. The books themselves cannot be obtained for many times the price of the present volume, and both the general reader, who desires to know more. | GEOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS ON SOUTH AMERICA by CHARLES DARWIN EDITORIAL NOTE.
