Geology is destiny--understand it and life gets easier. Our
ancestors grasped enough about their environment to fashion tools,
start fires, erect shelters, and find water. The principles they
discovered long ago still apply, and the science behind stronger
concrete, usable marble, and more pure metals still stands. The
ancients were the first rockhounds out of necessity, and the skills
they perfected resonate from medicine to sanitation, from pottery
to food preservation. The Practical Geologist traces the impact of
geology on the first toolmakers in their trek toward civilization
and details how understanding geology allowed for advances in
agriculture, construction, weaponry, and the arts. The hacks,
shortcuts, and rules described here are still vital for not just
homesteaders, campers, hikers, and survivalists--the same
geological factors assist us all as we struggle with ever-changing
global conditions and reach for the stars. Using full-color
pictures, tables, diagrams, and simple language, The Practical
Geologist covers the basics of geology and applies them directly to
everyday situations, serving as a practical guide to co-existing in
the physical world.
