This manual has been developed for use in both non-majors and combined courses in historical geology. The exercises emphasize the principles and methods by which geologists discover the origins and changing nature of our planet. These exercises or "studies" will help students understand how ancient conditions can be read from rocks and fossils, how geologic forces at the surface and within the planet can alter the environment, and how events of the past can be placed within an integrated chronological sequence.
The exercises are designed for students who may not intend to specialize in geology. This does not mean, however, that the treatment is superficial, nor that it cannot give adequate preparation for students pursuing an academic major in the earth sciences.

Third, in the past, even with all the other journals available, it has been difficult to find an outlet for scholarly works in the history of the earth sciences.
A prime goal of the new society was immediate establishment of a refereed journal to serve the needs of its members. Many geologists do field work at least part of the time.
Others spend their time in laboratories, classrooms or offices. All geologists prepare reports, do calculations and use computers. The advanced degrees provide a higher level of training, often in a specialty area such as paleontology, mineralogy, petrology, hydrology, economic geology or volcanology. Advanced degrees will often qualify the geologist for supervisory positions, research assignments or teaching positions at the university level.
These are some of the most sought after jobs in the field of geology.
