Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Natural Wealth of Britain: Its Origin and Exploitation I have set down summarily on page 5 the aim I had before me in writing the following pages. Throughout the book there is a coherent argument, claiming for geology the basic place among the studies which help to explain the development of civilisation and the localisation of the industrial arts. I have included in the plan of the book the chief of those ideas which should guide the student, in whatever part of the world he should later find himself, in acquiring a good general conception of the scheme of material things in his neighbourhood. This is my apology for the "industrial" sections which link the geological and the geographical chapters in the book. My best thanks are eagerly given to Messrs. Ropeways, Ltd., Messrs. The Aluminium Corporation, Ltd., and Messrs. The Ingersoll Rand Mining Co., Ltd., for permission to use photographs of their plant, and also to Mr. Philip Lake for the map upon which that on pages 310 and 311 is based.
