LibriVox recording of The Elements of Geology by William Harmon Norton. Geology is a science of such rapid growth that no apology is expected when from time to time a new text-book is added to those already in the field. The present work, however, is the outcome of the need of a text-book of very simple outline, in which causes and their consequences should be knit together as closely as possible,-a need long felt by the author in his teaching, and perhaps by other teachers also. The author has ventured, therefore, to depart from the common usage which subdivides geology into a number of departments,-dynamical, structural, physiographic, and historical,-and to treat in immediate connection with each geological process the land forms and the rock structures which it has produced. from book preface.

It shows in his writing. This was clearly written as an introductory text book and so is chock full information and explanation, but the writing flows like water, clear and lucid.
