Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the origins and formation of Scottish landscapes. Employing the methods of geology, the author challenges the popular notion that these landscapes were formed by cataclysmic events, instead suggesting that they are the result of the slow, steady erosion and weathering of rocks and other materials over vast periods of time. The author examines the work of air, rain, rivers, springs, frost, glaciers, and the sea in shaping the land, and concludes that the resulting topographical features are closely related to the drainage systems of the country. Moreover, the author contends that as every part of the land is undergoing degradation, no portion of its present surface can possibly be of great antiquity. This carefully researched and engagingly written book offers a fresh perspective on the origins of Scotland's iconic landscapes, and will appeal to anyone interested in geology, geography, or the natural history of the British Isles. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330509685_0
