nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Agricultural Geology by J. E. Marr is a timeless and remarkably practical guide that reveals the essential connection between geology and agriculture. More than a study of rocks and minerals, this classic work explains how the Earth's geological history directly influences soil fertility, water resources, landscape formation, and the longterm productivity of agricultural land. Written with clarity and supported by detailed geological maps, illustrations, and diagrams, the book transforms complex scientific principles into practical knowledge that remains valuable for students, researchers, geologists, agricultural professionals, and anyone interested in understanding the science beneath the soil. The book begins by introducing the composition and classification of rocks, the characteristics of rockforming minerals, and the processes that create igneous, sedimentary, and altered rocks. It then explores the natural forces that constantly reshape the Earth's surface through weathering, erosion, transportation, deposition, volcanic activity, and metamorphism. These chapters provide readers with a clear understanding of how geological processes gradually produce the soils that sustain agriculture and natural ecosystems. Building upon these foundations, the author presents an accessible introduction to geological surveying, map interpretation, rock structures, and field observations, enabling readers to understand how geological formations are identified and studied. The book further examines the succession of rock strata, tracing the geological history of the British Isles while illustrating broader geological principles that remain universally relevant. One of the most valuable features of this work is its practical focus. Dedicated chapters explain groundwater resources, water supply, and the agricultural importance of minerals and rocks used to improve soil quality. Rather than presenting geology as an abstract science, the book demonstrates how geological knowledge supports better farming practices, informed land management, and sustainable agricultural development. Whether you are studying geology, agriculture, environmental science, or simply wish to understand the remarkable relationship between the Earth beneath our feet and the food we produce, Agricultural Geology offers an insightful, educational, and enduring exploration of one of nature's most important partnerships.…
