Open-Air Studies in Geology is a book written by Grenville Arthur James Cole and originally published in 1902. The book is a comprehensive guide to the study of geology in the field, specifically focusing on the techniques and methods used in outdoor geology studies. The book is divided into several sections, each covering a different aspect of geology. It begins with an overview of the basic principles of geology and the tools and equipment necessary for fieldwork. It then goes on to cover topics such as geological mapping, the study of rocks and minerals, and the identification of fossils. Throughout the book, Cole emphasizes the importance of hands-on experience in geology, encouraging readers to get out into the field and observe geological phenomena firsthand. He also provides detailed instructions and tips for conducting various types of fieldwork, including how to take accurate measurements and record data. In addition to its practical advice, Open-Air Studies in Geology also includes numerous illustrations and photographs to help readers better understand the concepts and techniques discussed in the book. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in geology, from amateur rock collectors to professional geologists.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
