Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers the role of gases under high pressure in the development of geological phenomena, particularly regarding the creation of certain volcanic features. Exploring a range of rocks, from granite to limestone, the author demonstrates how explosive gases can erode and perforate rock, forming conduits that facilitate the movement of molten rock to the Earth's surface. These explosive gases can also cause the rock to behave in a plastic manner, leading to the formation of unique geological structures such as schists. The author's experiments shed light on the mechanisms behind the formation of volcanic chimneys, demonstrating how these conduits can act as channels for the upward transport of rock, resulting in the creation of volcanic domes and other geological features.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an overview of the historical development of the scientific study of metamorphic rocks. The author traces this study from its early beginnings in the late 18th century to the early 19th century, when it became a recognized field of geology. The author details the contributions of scientists as they began to understand that the earth's crust was shaped by both water and heat. From the theories put forward by James Hutton in the 1780s and 1790s, and the work of Sir James Hall on the role of heat and pressure to the groundbreaking research of Sir Charles Lyell, this book details the growth of our understanding of these geologic formations. The author doesn't just focus on the discoveries and theories of the time. They also examine the debates and controversies that characterized this period of scientific discovery, giving a rich and nuanced account of the development of a major scientific field.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a catalogue of rock specimens from around the world, written in the historical context of the mid 19th century. As such, the information contained within is largely outdated, particularly from a geological perspective. It does, however, reveal an organizing schema based on the then very recent scientific understanding of rock types and their properties. The author presents a coherent if incomplete analysis of the role of rock and minerals in the recent history of the earth. The book should be of interest to historians of science and collectors of antique geological specimens. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how water seeps through underground spaces in rocks, creating subterranean streams and bodies of water. The author categorizes these spaces into impermeable, meaning they do not allow water to pass, and permeable, which readily allow water to flow through. Examples and diagrams from nature illustrate these concepts, offering a thorough exploration of water's dynamic role in shaping the earth's surface and subsurface environments. The book delves into the historical understanding of groundwater and discusses the practical implications of these subterranean water systems, making it an invaluable resource for geologists, hydrologists, and anyone interested in the earth's natural processes.
