Here is a completely new version of the leading book on the geology of the Grand Canyon. Co-published with the Museum of Northern Arizona Press, the book incorporates the most recent discoveries and interpretations of the origin and history of the canyon. It offers a splendid, colorful survey of one of nature's most magnificent creations, while serving as a unique introduction to the methods and discoveries of geological science. The contributing authors are acknowledged experts in the fields of stratigraphy, paleontology, structural geology, geomorphology, volcanism, and seismology. Their discussions of individual rock formations offer new information on the geographic distribution of outcrops in the canyon, their lithology and stratigraphy, paleontology, age and correlation with other rock units worldwide, and depositional history. A new chapter explores the hydrology and geomorphology of the Colorado River. Fully illustrated with photographs and line drawings, this book will attract the attention of geologists and geology students, as well as general readers interested in acquiring an understanding of the geological history of this great natural wonder.

In 1830-33, Charles Lyell laid the foundations of evolutionary biology with 'Principles of Geology', a pioneering three-volume book that Charles Darwin took with him on the Beagle. Lyell championed the ideas of geologist James Hutton, who formulated one of the fundamental principles of modern geology - uniformitarianism. This proposed that natural processes always operate according to the same laws, allowing us to understand how features of the Earth's surface were produced by physical, chemical, and biological processes over long periods of time. Volume 1 consists of 26 chapters, a comprehensive index and woodcut illustrations of various mechanisms of geological change. Lyell begins with a definition of geology and then reviews ancient theories of the successive destruction and renovation of the world.

Ce mémoire prend place dans un ensemble de travaux réalisés par des équipes françaises dans les Andes depuis 1960. Il est la version remise à jour en 1975 puis 1976 d’un mémoire de thèse présenté à l’Université de Montpellier II en 1973. L’étude est axée sur une transversale classique des Andes du Pérou, de la fosse océanique à la zone subandine en passant par Lima, La Oroya et San Ramon. Cette coupe, jointe à une carte en couleurs au 1/500 000 du Pérou central qui couvre l’essentiel des Andes entre 10° 30’ S. et 13° S., donne une bonne image de ce que sont les Andes Centrales. Celles-ci sont le résultat de la superposition d’un orogène andin, d’âge crétacé terminal et tertiaire, sur un substratum sialique antétriasique; elles peuvent être considérées à juste titre comme le type des chaînes « liminaires ». Esta memoria es parte de un conjunto de trabajos realizados por equipos franceses en los Andes a partir de los años 60. Es una versión actualizada de una tesis de doctorado de estado presentada en la universidad de Montpellier II en 1973. El referido estudio esta centrado en una transversal clásica de los Andes Peruanos, la que va de la fosa oceánica hasta el llano amazónico atravesando Lima, La Oroya y San Ramón. A partir de esta sección y del mapa en colores a escala 1/500000 que cubre la mayor parte de los Andes entre 10° 30’ S. y 13° S. se obtiene una buena idea de lo que son los Andes Centrales. Se trata de un orógeno «andino», es decir de edad cretácica terminal y terciaria, en el cual no figura ningun elemento de corteza oceánica; este orógeno esta superpuesto a un substrato siálico antetriásico. Por estas características, es pertinente considerarlo como un caso típico de cadena «liminar». This memoir is one of a series describing studies made by French workers in the Andes since 1960. It has been modified during 1975 and 1976 from a thesis presented to the University of Montpellier II in 1973. The study is based on a cross-section of the Peruvian Andes,…
