Seller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating world of crystals, delving into their intricate structure and how it influences their unique physical properties. Stepping away from the purely descriptive approach often found in mineralogy, the author takes a more scientific path, exploring the fundamental relationship between a crystal's form and its internal constitution. The book dives into the concepts of symmetry and anisotropy, explaining how these principles govern the behavior of crystals when interacting with light, heat, electricity, and magnetism. It also examines the influence of mechanical forces on crystal structure, highlighting the crucial role that elasticity and cohesion play in defining their overall behavior. Through a detailed exploration of the optical properties of crystals, the author provides readers with the tools to understand and even analyze the microscopic world. The book's insights into how crystals interact with light provide a foundation for understanding not only the behavior of minerals, but also for applications in fields such as chemistry, botany, and zoology. Ultimately, this book offers a comprehensive and illuminating journey into the fascinating world of crystals and their influence on the physical world around us. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
