From the Preface: The following chapters on phases of the problem of volcanism were prepared for the course of Silliman Lectures at Yale University for the year 1914, and represent the lectures as they were then given, with slight elaboration in some parts. They were intended both for students of geology andf for others who, while not having made a special study of the earth, are interested in its history and in theories respecting its origin and the possible causes of volcanic activity at or near its surface." 8 Chapters: The Phenomena of Volcanism; Nebular Hypotheses; Physical Characteristics of the Earth; Petrology of the Earth; Dynamical Status of the Earth; Extravasation of Molten Magma; Intrusion of Igneous Magmas within the Lithosphere; Extrusion of Lavas upon the Earth's Surface. 83 black-and-white illustrations (many full-page) with accompanying descriptive captions and a color fold-out of Oro-Bathygraphical Chart map of the World.
