A Geognostical Essay On The Superposition Of Rocks In Both Hemispheres (1823) - Hardcover

by Alexander Von Humboldt (Translator)

""A Geognostical Essay On The Superposition Of Rocks In Both Hemispheres"" is a scientific work written by Alexander von Humboldt in 1823. The book explores the geological structure of the Earth by examining the superposition of rocks in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Humboldt's research is based on his own observations during his travels across the world, as well as on the work of other geologists and naturalists. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the geological formations of the Northern Hemisphere and the second part examining those of the Southern Hemisphere. Humboldt's work was groundbreaking for its time, as it provided a comprehensive overview of the geological structure of the Earth and helped to establish the field of geology as a scientific discipline. The book is still considered an important work in the history of geology and natural science today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
