Geology And Mineralogy V2: Considered With Reference To Natural Theology (1836) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781165020201)

Geology and Mineralogy V2: Considered with Reference to Natural Theology is a book written by William Buckland and published in 1836. The book is a comprehensive study of geology and mineralogy, with a focus on the relationship between these sciences and natural theology. Buckland was a prominent geologist and theologian of his time, and this book is a reflection of his belief that the study of natural phenomena can provide insight into the workings of God. The book is divided into two volumes, with the second volume focusing on mineralogy. Buckland covers a wide range of topics, including the formation of the earth, the history of life on earth, and the classification of rocks and minerals. He also discusses the relationship between geology and the Bible, arguing that the two are not in conflict but rather complement each other. Throughout the book, Buckland provides detailed descriptions of geological formations and minerals, as well as illustrations and diagrams to aid in understanding. He also includes anecdotes and personal observations from his own travels and research, making the book both informative and engaging. Geology and Mineralogy V2: Considered with Reference to Natural Theology is a significant work in the history of geology and natural theology, and remains relevant today for those interested in the intersection of science and religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
