About This Item
[2], 538; [6], 539-1152; [4], 1153-2024 pp.Much cited work on geology, with volumes 2 and 3 in the first printing, dated "1908-1911" on the title-pages, and volume 3 in the second printing, dated 1911 (the first printing of volume 1 appeared in 1907). Written by the French geologist and palaeontologist Émile Haug (1861-1927), best known for his contributions to the theory of geosynclines (crustal warps), which can be found in the present work and remained the accepted view for sixty years. Haug's work stands on the border between geology and geography. Robert Dietz challenged his theory of geosynclines ca. 1970 in the light of plate tectonics and new empirical data. As a result many now use the term geoclines instead of geosynclines. With library stamps. In very good condition. Binding good, but slightly rubbed and with two spines faded.l BMC NH, p. 442.
