Between 1839 and 1846, he participated in expeditions to the coasts of Newfoundland, Australia and New Guinea. This posthumous book, edited by Jukes' sister and published in 1871, contains selected highlights from Jukes' professional and personal writings. After a short biographical sketch, the material is arranged chronologically, beginning with Newfoundland and Australia and then focusing on Britain and Ireland, where Jukes was involved with national geological surveys. Linking passages by the editor explain the contexts of the pieces, and the book includes a list of Jukes' publications. Jukes lived during an exciting period that saw far-reaching discoveries and advances in his field, and his energy and enthusiasm permeates even his technical communications. Modern readers, like the original audience, will form a vivid impression of Jukes' lively personality, his 'penetrating glance and his sturdy step'.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Introductory note\u003cbr\u003e Early life, 1811–1837\u003cbr\u003e 1838\u003cbr\u003e 1839\u003cbr\u003e Newfoundland Survey, 1839\u003cbr\u003e 1840, 1841\u003cbr\u003e Surveying expedition to Torres Straits, 1842\u003cbr\u003e 1843\u003cbr\u003e Second cruise, 1843\u003cbr\u003e 1844\u003cbr\u003e 1845\u003cbr\u003e Geological Survey of England, 1846\u003cbr\u003e 1847\u003cbr\u003e 1848\u003cbr\u003e Letters to Dr. Ingleby and other relatives\u003cbr\u003e 1849\u003cbr\u003e 1850\u003cbr\u003e Irish Survey, 1851\u003cbr\u003e 1852\u003cbr\u003e 1853\u003cbr\u003e 1854\u003cbr\u003e 1855\u003cbr\u003e 1856\u003cbr\u003e 1858\u003cbr\u003e 1859 to 1869\u003cbr\u003e Chronological list of works and publications.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Geological surface processes [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Geological surface processes\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Geological%20surface%20processes%20%5Bgeomorphology%5D%20%5BRBGD%5D%22\"\u003egeomorphology RBGD\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266025279768,"sku":"9781108030991","price":46.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108030991i.jpg?v=1694873632","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/letters-and-extracts-from-the-addresses-and-occasional-writings-of-j-beete-jukes-m-a-f-r-s-f-g-s-paperback-9781108030991","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
