Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rocks, Minerals and Stocks Owing to differences in speed between the inner and outer portions of the great spheroid of whirling gas, the outer portion separated into rings, which broke into pieces and the pieces wound themselves up into smaller spheroids. Other rings separated from these and also from the central mass and broke up into other pieces, and so on, until we find our Solar System is a system of moons circulating around planets which in turn circulate around a great central mass or Sun. Old Saturn still has a couple of rings and a lot of moons racing around him, showing that at one time the Old fellow was a young fellow and delighted in wearing rings. Th'ere is no doubt but that our Earth and the other planets and moons in our cluster were all at one time or another as hot as the Sun, but, being smaller than the Sun, they have parted with their heat more rapidly. This heat was of course latent in the original atoms, and was roused into activity during the chemical changes and physical condensation through which the gaseous materials have passed while turning into solid rock, etc., and this heat has been radiating into space all the time or being con verted into other forms of energy, or locked up in latent form, so that now we have very little of our own heat left, and are dependent on the Sun for our supplies.

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 952 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CRC Practical Handbooks are a series of single-volume bench manuals that feature a synthesis of the most frequently used, basic reference information. These highly abridged versions of existing CRC multi-volume Handbooks contain largely tabular and graphic data. They provide extensive coverage in a scientific discipline and enable quick, convenient access to the most practical reference information...on the spot! Leading professionals in their respective fields collaborated to provide individuals and institutions with an economical and easy-to-use source of classic reference information. The CRC Practical Handbook of PHYSICAL PROPERTIES of ROCKS and MINERALS, prepared by leaders in their specialties, has been constructed to serve as a convenient, compact, yet comprehensive source of basic information. The technical data have been compiled and selectively edited to provide an organized and definitive presentation of the physical properties of rocks and their constituent minerals. The format is primarily tabular and graphical, for easy reference and comparisons. There is also instructive textual material to present, explain, and clarify the data. This edited and abridged version of the CRC Handbook of Physical Properties of Rocks, published in three volumes in 1982 - 1984, will serve as an easy-to-use source of current and useful reference information.

Download or read book Rock Forming Minerals Classic Reprint written by Frank Rutley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rock-Forming Minerals Students on the Continent are well supplied with text-books giving instruction in the more recent methods of petro graphical research; but in this country it is otherwise, and those who wish for such teaching in their own tongue fare badly, unless they can attend lectures and devote their time to a course of systematic work in the laboratory. Even then there is a constant demand for a book to which they can refer for information enabling them to determine the chief rock forming minerals. Yet, although many of the works now published supply them with much that is useful, this want seems still to remain unsatisfied. It is essentially a student's want. Whether this book will in any way meet it, at least for the time being, is a question best answered by the book itself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Deposits of the Useful Minerals and Rocks, Vol. 1 of 3: Their Origin, Form, and Content The intention in making this translation was two-fold; firstly, to school myself in the matter of ore-deposition; and secondly, to place before British mining engineers and geologists an important work upon this subject, in a language with which, upon the whole, they would be better acquainted than with the original German. In the first part of this intention I feel I have succeeded. With regard to the second I trust that the realization will not fall too far short. I have endeavoured faithfully to bring out both the fact and the spirit of the author's work, this being of such high standard that the reception of a translation must depend largely upon the degree of closeness with which the original is approached.

This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tables for the Determination of the Common Minerals and Rocks The color of a mineral may always be the same, or it may range thru various shades of one color, or the same mineral may have several different colors. Luster is defined as the appearance of the surface in reflected light. Min erais are divided into two groups on the basis of their luster, viz., metallic and non-metallic. Minerals with a metallic luster reflect light like a metal. There are various lusters in the non-metallic group, common ones being vitreous, greasy, earthy, waxy, adamantine, resinous, etc. These are defined in the glossary.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Minerals, Ores, Rocks and Fossils of the Pacific Coast Exhibition: At the Paris Coast Exposition of 1878 The California Commission for the Paris Exposition of 1878 had its origin in a public meeting of citizens, which issued an address to the people of California, setting forth the advantages to the State that would result from an exhibit of the various agricultural, mechanical, mineral and art productions of the Pacific Coast. Committees in the different departments were appointed, who assumed their duties cheerfully. Much pro gress was -made by these committees. The Commission was warmly supported by the Press, and was popular throughout the State. It was supposed that all its varied resources would be shown in such a manner as to place California in the posi tion it deserves before the world. As the work progressed. It was found that a considerable sum of money would be required to carry out the plans of the various committees, and it was decided to make an application to the Legislature of the State, then in session, for the necessary funds. Much time was lost while awaiting the action of that body. The Legislature declining to make the appropriation asked, it was found to be too late to provide other means for completing the work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tables for the Determination of the Rock-Forming Minerals: With a Chapter on the Petrological Microscope There is probably no branch of geology in which an unaided student has more difficulty in making a start than in the microscopic study of rocks. This is especially to be regretted, as it is now recognised that this method of research is indispensable for any accurate work on the igneous rocks. Many a resident on the great volcanic plateaux of India, Africa, or America, or on the vast tracts of gneiss and schists which form such a large proportion of the earth's crust, is debarred from geological work by the difficulty of identifying minerals under the microscope. Thus our knowledge of many of these areas is very deficient, for they are only known by occasional rapid traverses; and the problems they present are so complex that they can only be fully worked out by a resident or by a thorough survey. Elementary students feel the difficulty, though they have the advantage of personal instruction. Probably every one who has tried elementary teaching in geology has felt the need of some simple book of reference. The elaborate tables of Rosenbusch and Michel Levy and Lacroix are, of course, perfect in their way, but they are really summaries of the characters of the minerals rather than guides to their rapid determination. With these, if one knows the name of a mineral, its characters can be at once ascertained; but what the student usually requires is the reverse process. He can recognise the characters of a mineral by the microscope, and from these he wants to know its name. The previous tables afford little assistance in doing this. Professor L winson-Lessing has now supplied this want by a set of tables arranged on what may be called the "dichotomous method."
