The Building Of The British Isles: A Study In Geographical Evolution is a book written by A. J. Jukes-Browne in 1888. In this book, the author explores the geological history of the British Isles and how it has shaped the landscape we see today. He delves into the different geological periods and the processes that have led to the formation of the islands, including the movement of tectonic plates, volcanic activity, and erosion.Jukes-Browne also examines the role of ice ages in shaping the landscape of the British Isles, including the formation of valleys and the creation of glacial lakes. He discusses the different types of rocks and minerals found in the islands and how they have been used throughout history for building and other purposes.The author provides detailed maps and illustrations throughout the book, which help to illustrate the geological processes and formations he describes. He also includes a glossary of geological terms, making the book accessible to readers with varying levels of knowledge in the subject.Overall, The Building Of The British Isles: A Study In Geographical Evolution is a comprehensive study of the geological history of the British Isles and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

British area has passed. The pioneer in this branch of geological science wasM r, Godwin-A usten, whose masterly essays published in the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society, between 1856 and 1866, may still be read with advantage, for many of his conclusions have been confirmed by the information subsequently derived from deep borings in the eastern and midland counties. Many geologists have dealt in more or less detail with the geographical conditions of particular epochs, but the first systematic treatise on the geography of successive geological periods was that by Professor Hull, published in 1882, and entitled, Contributions to the Physical History of theB ritish I sles. The larger part of Professor Hull sbook, however, is devoted to the consideration of the Palaeozoic periods and the origin of the Atlantic Ocean; the space allotted to theN eozoic periods being hardly proportionate to the knowledge that we really possess concerning them. The aim and scope of the present volume are somewhat different from Professor Hull s, the successive periods of Neozoic time being treated at much greater length than those of Palaeozoic time, partly because much more information is available, but chiefly because it is my object to trace out the succession of physical and geographical changes which have led up to the existing disposition of land and water in the north-western portion of Europe. My thanks are due to many friends and correspondents for information and advice, especially toD r. Callaway with regard to the Cambrian period, toP rofessor Hull respecting the I rish Devonians, toP rofessor A. H. Green, Mr. E. Wilson, and Mr. H. B.
