The author, Chairman of the Department of Geology at the University of Michigan, has attempted to emphasize the effects that geologic processes, acting both in the past and the present, have had upon mankind. The book, therefore, includes not only a study of the geology of various mineral resources, and an analysis of physiography's controlling influence on man's activities, but it also provides longer than usual accounts of the effects of such catastrophic geologic agents as floods, hurricanes, volcanic explosions and earthquakes. .
