Color: Red; Gold
"Southern California Geology and Los Angeles Earthquakes," by Robert T. Hill (Los Angeles: Southern California Academy of Sciences,) 1928. The item has a red hardcover on the front of which is the full title and author's name and on the spine of which is a short title and author's name. The work, which was abstracted in a paper given by the author to the Geological Society of America in Cleveland in December 1927, is divided into seven parts, being a rebuttal to a statement that Los Angeles would experience a devastating earthquake within ten years and sections on generalizations about earthquakes, essentials on the geography of southern California, the scientific background of the region, theories on the causes of faulting, the geologic history of the region, and a summary. There are also many illustrations and four plate maps at the back of the work. With corner rubbing, significant fading to the upper third of the cover, dented corners and edges of the cover, notations on the front flysheet, scratches on the spine and front cover, and small tears to the upper left of the front on the fabric, the overall condition is fair.Lexicon
