""The Upper Devonian Delta of the Appalachian Geosyncline"" is a scientific book written by Joseph Barrell and published in 1914. The book focuses on the geological features of the Appalachian Mountains in North America and specifically examines the Upper Devonian Delta, a geological formation that dates back over 350 million years. Barrell's research is based on extensive fieldwork and laboratory analysis, and he provides detailed descriptions of the sedimentary rocks, fossils, and other geological features found in the region. He also discusses the tectonic and climatic factors that shaped the formation of the delta, and how these factors have influenced the evolution of life on Earth. The book is written in a technical and academic style, and is intended for readers with a background in geology or related fields. It includes numerous diagrams, maps, and photographs to help illustrate the geological features and processes discussed in the text. Overall, ""The Upper Devonian Delta of the Appalachian Geosyncline"" is a significant contribution to the field of geology, and remains an important reference for scientists and researchers studying the geological history of North America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The Strength of the Earth's Crust is a scientific book written by Joseph Barrell in 1915. The book is a comprehensive study of the mechanics of the Earth's crust and the forces that shape it. Barrell delves into the physical properties of rocks and minerals, the stresses and strains that they undergo, and the ways in which they respond to these forces. He also explores the geological processes that lead to the formation of mountains, valleys, and other landforms, as well as the factors that influence the stability of the Earth's crust.The book is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the physical properties of rocks and minerals, including their strength, elasticity, and plasticity. Barrell explains how these properties affect the behavior of the Earth's crust under stress and strain.The second part of the book examines the geological processes that shape the Earth's surface, including the formation of mountains, valleys, and other landforms. Barrell discusses the role of tectonic forces, erosion, and weathering in these processes.The final part of the book looks at the stability of the Earth's crust and the factors that can lead to earthquakes, landslides, and other geological hazards. Barrell discusses the ways in which scientists study these phenomena and the strategies that can be used to mitigate their effects.Overall, The Strength of the Earth's Crust is a seminal work in the field of geology and provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanics of the Earth's crust. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the science of the Earth and the forces that shape our planet.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
