The principles and objects of geology, with special reference to the geology of Egypt

"The Principles and Objects of Geology, with Special Reference to the Geology of Egypt" by W. F. Hume is a non-fiction book from the early 1900s that carefully looks at the geology of Egypt, explaining the different kinds of rocks and other materials found there and how they were formed. Taking a scholarly approach, the author dives into different rock types such as limestones and granites, providing insights into how erosion, sedimentation, and other geological activities have affected the landscape through time. This study of Egypt’s geological structure uses images and references to show the connections between different rocks, how they were made, and what effect wind and rain have on them, making the case that it is key to understanding geology itself.
