Igneous Rocks, Vol. 2 of 2: Composition, Texture and Classification, Description and Occurrence (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Igneous Rocks, Vol. 2 of 2: Composition, Texture and Classification, Description and Occurrence
A systematic description of igneous rocks involves so many features which are so intricately blended that it is not possible to deal with the whole subject thoroughly in a single treatise, and while it may be desirable eventually to devote separate treatises to particular phases of the subject, petrology has not yet reached a stage of development where such a method of procedure seems advisable. Any attempt to describe igneous rocks in a single volume is likely to emphasize some features more than others, and to present certain groups of characteristics in greater detail than others of equal importance for a complete knowledge of igneous rocks. The purpose of a book should determine which features are to be emphasized if it is to be more than an encyclo pedia of petrographical data.
