Washington Geological Survey. Bulletin No. 8, Glaciation of the Puget Sound Region

About the Book

The surface deposits about Puget Sound, as shown in the sea-cliffs, excavations for streets, tunnels, and elsewhere have always attracted much attention. They are of economic importance, not alone from an agricultural standpoint, but because of the valuable beds of clay, sand, and gravel which they contain. Local chapters in the story of the glaciation of Puget Sound have been contributed by different writers at different times, but this bulletin by Mr. Bretz is the first detailed account covering all phases of an interesting portion of the geological history of the region. This report by Mr. Bretz has involved several years of field-work and study, the expenses of which were sustained by him personally, except that a small allowance toward the cost of the field-work was granted him by the Survey during the summer of 1911. Books called Encyclopedias provides a large number of brief articles about items or matters of interest about a wide range of subject areas, although some encyclopedias may be specialized in a given subject area. Titles include: Encyclopaedia Coniferae, and Encyclopedia of diet: a treatise on the food question. In Five volumes.
