Walks and Talks in the Geological Field by Alexander Winchell,
Chautauqua Press, 1886. Original decorative cloth. Crisp copy. An
important title in the Chautauquan effort to make scientific (and other
intellectual) theories and discoveries accessible to a wider popular
audience. It is interesting to note that Winchell (a professor of
Geology and Paleontology at the University of Michigan) is the same
author that earlier wrote on racial inferiority and Pre-Adamite man.
Here he seems to emphasize more acceptable scientific, geology.
Hardcover, 339 pages, light edgewear, otherwise in excellant condition.
