This is a historical book on the discoveries in the field of Geology. Written in the style of a professor walking with his students around various places. It begins by looking at rocks and the landscape, moves onto bowlders, and possible origins for these such glaciers, it also goes under water and tells how the oceans floor becomes layered, moves onto dinosaurs, and oil and eventually describes the planets and how minerals are formed. The last section tells how people view the story of the world, and looks at the question of Evolution. The author Alexander Winchell was Professor of Geology and Palaeontology in the University of Michigan, whom died in 1891. In 1898 the book was Revised and Edited by Fredrick Starr, from the University of Chicago.
