| Summary | "The Principles and Objects of Geology, with Special Reference to the Geology of Egypt" by W. F. Hume, D.Sc., F.R.S.E., etc., is a scientific publication authored in the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed examination of the geological makeup of Egypt, exploring the diverse materials present in the region, such as limestones, sands, clays, and granites, as well as the processes that have shaped them over time. It serves as both a technical guide and a scholarly analysis of the geological principles governing the formation and distribution of rocks. In this comprehensive work, Hume presents the systematic examination of Egypt's geological structure, revealing how various rock types are arranged and the geological history behind their formation. He discusses concepts such as sedimentation, erosion, and deformation, explaining how geological processes have influenced the characteristics of the landscape over time. Using illustrations and geographical references, the author illustrates the intricate relationships between different rock types and their origins, and describes the impact of meteorological agencies like wind and rain on erosion. Ultimately, the book serves as a foundational text for understanding the geology of Egypt, offering insights into the broader implications of geological science as a whole.
