Download or read book Poems on Geology Metals Minerals and Mining written by Susan Ioannou and published by Wordwrights Canada. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much past Canadian poetry described our people and landscape in lyrical terms. Combining research and wonder, this book burrows deeper—the first collection of poems in Canada devoted exclusively to geology and mining. Quite literally, it goes underground. From volcanoes to vitamins, the book presents a wealth of factual information. It also explores past, more fanciful notions about how rocks, metals, and minerals fit into our human picture. In its pages, knowledge and imagination meet. Part I introduces a little basic geology. Part II focuses on the seven metals of the ancients, linked to the planets and days of the week, plus platinum and uranium. Part III delves into myths and legends about the power of gemstones. Part IV looks at the history and technology of mining, and its social and economic impact. A helpful glossary concludes this unique book that brings science and poetry together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tableau From Geology: Sonnet Stanza Sketches, and Other Poems The reader will be tempted, perhaps, to smile when he learns that this volume has been quite a quarter of a century in collecting. Yet so it is. The Author does not say, however, that he has not written more, he only hopes that what he has retained may not still prove to the eye of the critic - no light matter in verse - an error in quantity.

Download or read book Tennyson and Geology written by Michelle Geric and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers new interpretations of Tennyson’s major poems along-side contemporary geology, and specifically Charles Lyell’s Principles of Geology (1830-3). Employing various approaches – from close readings of both the poetic and geological texts, historical contextualisation and the application of Bakhtin’s concept of dialogism – the book demonstrates not only the significance of geology for Tennyson’s poetry, but the vital import of Tennyson’s poetics in explicating the implications of geology for the nineteenth century and beyond. Gender ideologies in The Princess (1847) are read via High Miller’s geology, while the writings of Lyell and other contemporary geologist, comparative anatomists and language theorists are examined along-side In Memoriam (1851) and Maud (1855). The book argues that Tennyson’s experimentation with Lyell’s geology produced a remarkable ‘uniformitarian’ poetics that is best understood via Bakhtinian theory; a poetics that reveals the seminal role methodologies in geology played in the development of divisions between science and culture, and that also, quite profoundly, anticipates the crisis in language later associated with the linguistic turn of the twentieth century.

Download or read book Geologist in Love written by Cortney Cameron and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-21 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 30-page full-color, full-spread chapbook features 15 celebratory and pensive nature and geology themed poems set to nature photography hand-selected to accompany each poem. Ordered by tone, several of the poems are geology "puns" that symbolically link geologic timescales and processes to human ones, while others simply revel in nature's beauty as seen through the eye of a geoscientist and spiritual naturalist. The collection makes an excellent conversation or coffee table piece for science lovers, nature enthusiasts, and spiritual naturalists. Poems included: Appalachians | Pahoehoe | Primordial | Free-floating Mind | Immigrant (Evolution) | Filicide (Extinction Event) | Hurricane | The Robin's Song | Tree | Wetland | Fall | Succession | Gaia | A View of the River | On the Shoulders (Orogeny)On the Shoulders (Orogeny)On the mountain,I am a grain:Lain atop,Another grain.And so too I shall be the hand,On which a newborn grain shall stand,Upward building, one by one--And though I shalln't behold the sum--It is enough, for me, just knowing:I am a grain,On a mountainGrowing.Immigrant (Evolution)Seeking a better life for their children,My family moved out of the oceanThree million centuries ago.It isn't written in the family bible--After so much time, the family denies any relation--But I recognize my cousins:I have their bones.Gazing at the ocean, the waves beckon meTo return to my long-ago home--and yet--A person starts life seventy-five percent water,Built of cells and teardrops,Point-nine percent saline:--We carry it with us.Filicide (Extinction Event)In the beginning, there was magma.A red planet, barren save rock,Ruled by volcanoes, inhospitable--butThe most common volcanic vapor is water, andThey filled the skies and basins by drops,What patience! Then"I put you onto this earth," they spewedA choking cloud of dust in the atmosphereAnd half of life disappearedSuccessionI am monument.Carrying your ripples, IClaw and crawl; I stand, anew.Mountains I mold, rivers uncurl;Warden of your legacy, I strive;I uphold your singsong colors in my blood.By my witness all shall know,Ere life was, andHere it yet remains.WetlandSilent land of waterLong reflections of treesForest above and belowTreeThough from this place, I cannot move,With naught--but dirt--and sun--and rain--for food:From just three things, I have grownA hundred feet, a leafy crown--An atmosphere, a barken gown.Young one, rest beneath my shadeAnd share in all these things we've made.AppalachiansWhen o'er the earth I see them rise,By meters, bluegreen, through the skies,With their flanks, my spirits climbBy ten million years at a time--Back to the churning of great continents,Which joining, birthed--the earth was bent--These gentle gods, which wrinkled, stand,As watchful guardians of this land,Who from their bodies, bleeding, built,The East Coast, from the sea, by silt,Across three thousand thousand centuriesWhich link a trilobite and me--My chest grows tight, my vision blurs,And in my soul, an eon stirs.

Download or read book Wordsworth and the Geologists written by John Wyatt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-11-02 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examination of the links between science and literary history is providing new insight for scholars across a range of disciplines. In Wordsworth and the Geologists, first published in 1995, John Wyatt explores the relationship between a major Romantic poet and a group of scientists in the formative years of a new discipline, geology. Wordsworth's later poems and prose display unexpected knowledge of contemporary geology and a preoccupation with many of the philosophical issues concerned with the developing science of geology. Letters and diaries of a group of leading geologists reveal that they knew Wordsworth, and discussed their subject with him. Wyatt shows how the implications of such discussions challenge the simplistic version of 'two cultures', the Romantic-literary against the scientific-materialistic; and he reminds us of the variety of interrelating discourses current between 1807 (the year of the foundation of the Geological Society of London) and 1850 (the year of Wordsworth's death).
