A Text Book Of Geology by Dr. U. D. Kulkarni, Dr. I. A. Khan, Dr. P. K. Sarkar, Dr. R. G. Pardeshi, Dr. A. B. Chakranarayan
Book Summary:
The need for a text-book of GEOLOGY, for the S. Y. B. Sc. students has been felt for a number of years. The syllabi in geology have been revised according to the changing needs, over the years and students have had to refer to several books to prepare their notes on these subjects. It was, therefore, thought necessary to write a text book which would cover the entire syllabus and enable the students to study the subject matter easily. Crystallography, mineralogy, optics, petrology, palaeobotany, micropalaeontology, stratigraphy and Indian stratigraphy have been dealt with in necessary detail with suitable diagrams and tables and more significantly with Indian examples wherever possible.
Audience of the Book :
