The Ancient Volcanoes of Great Britain, Volume 1 (of 2)
Archibald Geikie
Britain was once a land of fire, and Sir Archibald Geikie reads its dead volcanoes in the rock. This first volume sets out the principles and methods, then the lavas, agglomerates, and tuffs that mark ancient eruptions. A masterwork of geology from a great practitioner. For the earth-science reader, the buried fire of the British Isles brought to light.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
