Book Description
Excerpt from The Natural History of Igneous Rocks Igneous action and igneous rocks are first considered from a purely geological standpoint. In emphasizing this aspect, I have been influenced by a conviction that the subject has not yet been accorded its due place as an integral part of historical geology.

Introduction to the Study of Igneous Rocks (Classic Reprint)

Pages : 258
Book Description
Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of Igneous Rocks The plan of the present work is that of selecting from the large body of observed facts bearing on the identification of rocks with the microscope those which it is desirable for the beginner to get command of in the course of his early studies. The work is intended as an introduction to the exhaustive treatises on the subject. Inasmuch as the student invariably begins his laboratory work with the igneous rocks, these alone, with their constituent minerals, have been considered. Such a method of attack at once greatly limits the field on its mineralogical side, and permits of an extended treatment of determinative methods. In the discussion of the characteristics of a given rock-making mineral the aim has been to impart at the outset the most important diagnostic information regarding it. In the tables for desk use a fairly extended enumeration of the properties of the minerals of igneous rocks is given, but here also emphasis has been laid, by the use of bold face type, upon their more important characteristics from the point of view of the beginner who has to learn to identify them. The text dealing with the igneous type rocks is devoted entirely to setting forth the assemblages of facts of discriminative significance which are made use of in recognizing them in thin sections. Such a treatment can make no claim to completeness of exposition from the point of view of the geologist. The student will not, however, come to regard rocks merely as objects which can be classified by the recognition of their mineralogy and structures. It is believed that by emphasizing their differences the beginner can most quickly be put in possession of a knowledge of their complexity, and be led to take the interest in them which the petrologist must feel.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Petrology: The Igneous Rocks A Little book that should briefly describe the mineral constituents and internal structures of the Igneous Rocks, their mode of occurrence at the surface and their origin beneath the crust of the earth, has long been a desideratum among English text-books of Science. With the view of filling this gap this little book has been prepared; and it is hoped that it will be found useful, not only as an introduction to the subject, but also as a handy work of reference.

Petrography and Geology of the Igneous Rocks of the Highwood Mountains, Montana (Classic Reprint)

Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Excerpt from Petrography and Geology of the Igneous Rocks of the Highwood Mountains, Montana In the following work will be found the results of field and labora tory studies of the igneous rocks of the Highwood Mountains of Mon tana. The field work was carried out by Mr. Walter H. Weed and the writer, chiefly during the latter part of the summer of 1894, though the eastern part of the area was again revisited for a few days in 1896. The north-central part of the area, around the Shonkin and Arnoux stocks, was not visited by the writer, as this part of the work was done by Mr. Weed after the writer was called from the field. As the field work in petrology was incidental to the areal mapping of the region on the base map of 4 miles to the inch for the Fort Benton folio of the United States Geological Survey, under charge of Mr. Weed, the time that could be devoted to a careful study of details was necessarily limited. Future studies of the district may therefore bring out minor features which were not seen or which are but briefly treated.

Book Description
Excerpt from British Petrography: With Special Reference to the Igneous Rocks It was my original intention to treat of the sedimentary rocks and crystalline schists in the same volume, but when I approached the consideration of these rocks I found that the space available was far too small for the purpose. I accordingly determined, notwithstanding the fact that several plates had been prepared, to postpone all detailed reference to these rocks, for the present, in the hope that I might be able to return to the subject on some future occasion. The plates that have been prepared are, however, issued with the present volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
