Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Metamorphism, Vol. 3 Another way in which close resemblance between porphyritic schists of sedimentary and of igneous origin may arise is the development of porphyritic constituents during metamorphism. the new porphyritic minerals may show random orientation if formed under mass-static condi tions, or parallel orientation if formed under conditions of mashing. The augen-gneisses are cases of this kind. For instance, the augen of one gneiss may be the partly mashed -original porphyritic feldspars of an igneous rock, while those of another gneiss may be newly developed porphyritic constituents in a metamorphosed sediment. In such cases it is difficult or impossible to determine from the appearance of the rock whether an augen-gneiss is of igneous or of sedimentary origin. After igneous rocks have been deformed in the zone of fracture the openings may be filled by cementation. Subsequent mashing may break the fillings into fragments, and shearing may give them roundish forms which very closely simulate-pebbles. This happens in more instances with quartz veins than with other minerals. Such metamorphosed schists bear numerous apparent pebbles of quartz, and are very difficult indeed to discriminate from metamorphosed sedimentary rocks which contain true waterworn pebbles of quartz.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crystallography: A Treatise on the Morphology of Crystals I trust that, while endeavouring to fulfil the requirements of readers of the former kind, this book will not be found lacking in demonstrations that may satisfy those of the latter class, for whom indeed it may be said to commence at Article 53, p. 65. Several chapters, those for instance on Symmetry, are written with more detail than a geo metrical student might recognise as needed; but this seemed unavoidable if the usefulness of the book was not to be confined to such readers. Among my old students there have been some who have taken a great interest in the subject and in my book to their relations towards it and towards myself I may only advert here in a few too inadequate words. To a remoter time belongs Professor Lewis, formerly my colleague at the British Museum, and now Professor Miller's successor in the Mineralogical Chair at Cambridge. More especially are my cordial thanks due to the friend who succeeded me in the Keepership of the Mineral Department of the British Museum, Mr. L. Fletcher, for numerous and valuable suggestions and additions to the original ms. And to the proofs which he has so carefully revised. To Mr. Miers' skilful hand I am indebted for numerous figures, the drawing of which I found, with failing eyesight, to be increasingly difficult.nfa 52. Various features that I have adopted from the remark able Treatise (1866) of my Old friend Viktor von Lang, formerly, for a time, my colleague at the British Museum, justify my numbering the distinguished Vienna Professor among those to whom I am as much indebted for the matter of my book as I am for their sustained friendship.

Book excerpt: This extensively updated new edition of the widely acclaimed Treatise on Geochemistry has increased its coverage beyond the wide range of geochemical subject areas in the first edition, with five new volumes which include: the history of the atmosphere, geochemistry of mineral deposits, archaeology and anthropology, organic geochemistry and analytical geochemistry. In addition, the original Volume 1 on "Meteorites, Comets, and Planets" was expanded into two separate volumes dealing with meteorites and planets, respectively. These additions increased the number of volumes in the Treatise from 9 to 15 with the index/appendices volume remaining as the last volume (Volume 16). Each of the original volumes was scrutinized by the appropriate volume editors, with respect to necessary revisions as well as additions and deletions. As a result, 27% were republished without major changes, 66% were revised and 126 new chapters were added. In a many-faceted field such as Geochemistry, explaining and understanding how one sub-field relates to another is key. Instructors will find the complete overviews with extensive cross-referencing useful additions to their course packs and students will benefit from the contextual organization of the subject matter Six new volumes added and 66% updated from 1st edition. The Editors of this work have taken every measure to include the many suggestions received from readers and ensure comprehensiveness of coverage and added value in this 2nd edition The esteemed Board of Volume Editors and Editors-in-Chief worked cohesively to ensure a uniform and consistent approach to the content, which is an amazing accomplishment for a 15-volume work (16 volumes including index volume)!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Somatology: A Treatise on the General Properties of Matter Nature may be defined the system of the world or the universe; and may be considered as embracing two great departments, mind and matter. Mind is the part ot'a being Which perceives, thinks, wills, and is susceptible of moral emotion. Matter or substance is What may be seen or felt, or may affect any of our senses. Of the absolute nature of either mind or matter we can have no definite idea; we know them only by their properties: these are so different as to lead, perhaps universally, to the division of general sciences into two great classes corresponding to the two objects of contemplation, viz. Metaphysics, the science of mind, and Natural Philosophy, the science of matter. These, though to a certain extent independent, are, never.

Download or read book Petrogenesis of Metamorphic Rocks written by Kurt Bucher and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metamorphic rocks are one of the three classes of rocks. Seen on a global scale they constitute the dominant material of the Earth. The understanding of the petrogenesis and significance of metamorphic of geological education. rocks is, therefore, a fundamental topic There are, of course, many different possible ways to lecture on this theme. This book addresses rock metamorphism from a relatively pragmatic view point. It has been written for the senior undergrad uate or graduate student who needs practical knowledge of how to interpret various groups of minerals found in metamorphic rocks. The book is also of interest for the non-specialist and non-petrolo gist professional who is interested in learning more about the geolo gical messages that metamorphic mineral assemblages are sending, as well as pressure and temperature conditions of formation. The book is organized into two parts. The first part introduces the different types of metamorphism, defines some names, terms and graphs used to describe metamorphic rocks, and discusses principal aspects of metamorphic processes. Part I introduces the causes of metamorphism on various scales in time and space, and some principles of chemical reactions in rocks that accompany metamorphism, but without treating these principles in detail, and presenting the thermodynamic basis for quantitative analysis of reactions and their equilibria in metamorphism. Part I also presents concepts of metamorphic grade or intensity of metamorphism, such as the metamorphic-facies concept.
Download or read book Nature s Harmonic Unity written by Samuel Colman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature's Harmonic Unity: A Treatise on Its Relation to Proportional Form The time cannot be far distant, however, when it will be universally recognized that the highest possible plane of work for the sculptor, painter, and architect will be that in which each collaborates with the other, all engaged simultaneously upon and engrossed in one great whole, and all alike endowed with a scientific knowledge of the laws of Nature. Then the easel picture, which should be of secondary importance and not the first as we now make it, will take its proper place in our art history. The study of the various phenomena in the organic and inorganic world leads, at once, to the just consideration of the principles involved in correlated design, which study depends largely upon measurement, and this, it may here be explained, is the only way mathematics can have to do with art. Because of the prejudice arising from a misconception of terms, when mathematics has been mentioned in connection with aesthetics, the study of form-phenomena has been as a closed book to the artist, he con sidering that an equation must be found for every part of a design-composition: thus confounding measurement with calculation, terms of very different meaning. The justice and accuracy of the rule adopting a measurement or adapting it to a certain purpose may be demonstrated by calculation; but, _ the reasoning once scientifically laid bare, the artist or designer may have the advantages of the measurement constantly before him, relegating the abstruse calculation from which it arose to the obscure corner from which it emerged to serve its purpose. It is upon his measurement, not upon calculation, that the artist or designer is largely dependent for a just arrangement of details, as well as to a general conception of the mass. The harmonic relations in Nature and Beauty are fixed beyond all change by him. He has but to study them. 1 Thus it is that a geometrical construction in a design Will appeal both to the eye and the mind by its reasonableness.

Book excerpt: Materiality is a recurring and central issue in architecture. This book explains how materials are "constructed", how they become cultural substances. Metamorphism investigates the complex relationship between natural materials and technology, science and sensuality. Gottfried Semper (1803–1879) made the notion of Stoffwechsel the key element of his theory. With this concept he intended to explain how a structural form originally bound to a method of processing is transferred from one material to another, liberated from its original function. For the first time, the book investigates the subject from a historic point of view whilst reflecting on current interdisciplinary research. Examples from Aalto to Zumthor illustrate the specific aspects of historic and contemporary material concepts.
