Zoomable full resolution image available at davidrumsey.com . This image 10485.004 is a part of image group 10485.000 . 1st ed. was 1836/7; Signed by Griffith & Larcom (perhaps printed signatures). Colored Geologically, showing political boundaries and railroads. Originally published to accompany the Atlas to accompany the second Report of the Railway Commissioners, 1837. Map is in six sheets, each dissected into 8 sections. Full color. Sheets have marbled end papers. "Each sheet initialled and dated in lower right hand margin, conceivably by ‘RG’ and, where not trimmed, the dates read August – November 1864. The handwriting seems similar to Griffiths’ as it appears in his dated signature; for example, compare the ‘A’ of August and April. Each sheet was evidently carefully checked and initialled as and when it was coloured. The imprint suggests that geological colouring was normally done in London, and that only a limited number were available for sale, with the implication that there was nobody in Dublin with the necessary skills to colour geological maps and - possibly - not enough demand to stock them all the time. A series of advertisements in the Irish press placed by the Ordnance Survey agents O'Neill and Duggan in summer 1856, after this revised edition was first issued, makes a great selling point of the fact that a limited number of sets had been specially coloured geologically in Ireland, by visiting 'French artists of celebrity' (see, for example, The Dublin Evening Post, 24 June 1856). It was exceptional enough to be worth advertising. According to ODNB Griffiths’ geological map, in gestation since 1811 and facilitated by the arrival of the Ordnance Survey in the 1820s (although he still relied on Aaron Arrowsmith’s map as a model for his original version), was a private passion realized through a liberal interpretation of his public roles, most notably as commissioner of valuation: “Griffith conducted two valuation surveys of Ireland: the townland valuation (1830–c.1842) and the highly detailed tenement valuation (1852–65). The latter came to be known throughout Ireland as ‘the Griffith Valuation’. He claimed—with only partial justification—that a knowledge of the local solid geology was basic to meaningful land valuation, and he therefore instructed his valuators (at its maximum his staff numbered well over a hundred) in the making of geological observations. But, however he might protest to the contrary, these observations were really intended for the improvement of his geological map of Ireland, and from 1835 he was running from within the valuation office an entirely unauthorized geological survey of Ireland.” Our revised edition includes data gathered during this second survey. The map was first displayed in 1835, and then published the following year: ‘in October 1836 he became one of the four railway commissioners for Ireland, and persuaded his fellow commissioners that an understanding of regional geology was fundamental to the planning of the Irish railway system. In consequence the commissioners published his map, first in 1838 at a scale of 1:633,600, and then in May 1839 at a scale of 1:253,440, based on a fine new Ordnance Survey map of Ireland compiled under the direction of Thomas Aiskew Larcom. This magnificent quarter-inch geological map gives Griffith his claim to be hailed as 'the father of Irish geology'. Before 1855 the map underwent continuous revision, and during that year it was featured at the Universal Exhibition in Paris." (Tim Bryars, 2019) Robinson p.118-120.

Zoomable full resolution image available at davidrumsey.com . This image 12509.001 is a part of image group 12509.000 . Quarter bound with gilt decorated dark brown leather. Light brown cloth covered boards. Front cover includes text in gilt, "The Physical Atlas of Natural Phenomena". Spine includes text in gilt, "Physical Atlas" and "A.K. Johnston". Although the title pages says 1850, this is actually the first edition of 1848 without any changes other than the date on the title page. This first issue is closer to the Berghaus source atlas of 1845 (see our 1849 Berghaus edition 2515.000) than the second Johnston edition of 1856 (see our Johnston 0372.000). All of the plates in this 1848/1850 edition are engraved; in the second edition of 1856, Johnston replaces most of the hand colored engraved plates with color lithography.

The introductory physical geology laboratory courses taught at North Carolina State University aims to promote scientific thinking and learning through the use of scientific inquiry-based activities. A rubric describing five possible levels of inquiry was applied to characterize the laboratory activities in the course. Two rock and mineral laboratory classes and a geologic time laboratory class were found to contain a greater proportion of low-level inquiry activities than the other laboratory classes. Student exercises within these classes were modified by increasing the degree of student independence, exploration, and prediction required for several activities. Such modifications included students categorizing rock samples before instruction on rock types and predicting the placement of fossils along a geologic time line. Learning gains were measured and compared between students in the traditional lower-inquiry (control) and the revised higher-inquiry laboratory classes (treatment). In all three classes, the increase in inquiry level was found to positively influence student academic performance on postlaboratory assessments and related exam questions.

Two rock and mineral laboratory classes and a geologic time laboratory class were found to contain a greater proportion of low-level inquiry activities than the other laboratory classes. Student exercises within these classes were modified by increasing the degree of student independence, exploration, and prediction required for several activities. Such modifications included students categorizing rock samples before instruction on rock types and predicting the placement of fossils along a geologic time line. Learning gains were measured and compared between students in the traditional lower-inquiry (control) and the revised higher-inquiry laboratory classes (treatment). In all three classes, the increase in inquiry level was found to positively influence student academic performance on postlaboratory assessments and related exam questions.

The introductory physical geology laboratory courses taught at North Carolina State University aims to promote scientific thinking and learning through the use of scientific inquiry-based activities. A rubric describing five possible levels of inquiry was applied to characterize the laboratory activities in the course.
