| Résumé : |
From the back "Long out of print, The Evolution of the Igneous Rocks has never been superseded as a starting point or as a serious introduction to igneous rock formation. One of the key works of a man who has been termed the Father of Modern Petrology, it is not merely a classification of rocks, but an analytical interpretation of their diversity in terms of fractional crystallisation."When first published in 1928, this was an epoch-making book, the first major attempt to apply all the techniques and resources of the modern physical science to the problems of igneous rocks and their mineralogy. Emphasizing the importance of sound principles of physical chemistry, it shows how a knowledge of equilibrium relations in silicate systems can, together with field observation, clarify the nature and mechanism of rock origin processes."This unmatched source and reference book contains nearly a life-time of experience and many years of experimentation conducted at the Carnegie Institute and at Princeton. It is still first-rate reading for all geologists, mineralogists, strategic mineral experts, and physical chemists working with high pressures and temperatures." |
