Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a biographical memoir of Arnold Hague, a pioneering American geologist who made significant contributions to our understanding of the American West. Hague's career unfolded against a backdrop of rapid scientific and technological change, particularly in the field of geology. The author traces Hagueââ â¢s journey from his early studies at Yale and in Germany to his participation in the monumental Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel, which aimed to map the geology of the transcontinental railroad route. The memoir details Hagueââ â¢s involvement in the U.S. Geological Survey, where he became a leader in studying the Yellowstone National Park and its unique geothermal features. The book delves into Hagueââ â¢s scientific interests, highlighting his fascination with volcanic rocks, his contributions to the development of petrography, and his efforts to preserve the natural wonders of the American West. Hagueââ â¢s life and work stand as a testament to the power of observation, the importance of collaborative research, and the enduring influence of geology on our understanding of the natural world.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the development of systematic petrography in the 19th century, a field dedicated to classifying and describing rocks. Before the 19th century, rocks were not distinguished from geological formations and were often described as minerals. This book analyzes systematic propositions for classifying rocks, examining the principles applied in formulating schemes and testing their consistency. The book highlights the challenges faced by early petrographers, who lacked the knowledge and methods to accurately determine the composition of many rocks. The author shows how the development of systematic petrography was influenced by research into the chemical composition and geological occurrence of rocks, as well as by genetic hypotheses. The book concludes by examining the progress made in developing a more comprehensive and logical system of rock classification.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the history of scientific theories and hypotheses regarding the enigmatic force of volcanism. Beginning with early, seminal attempts to explain its origins, such as the nebular hypotheses of Buffon, Kant, and Laplace, the author traces the evolution of our understanding of volcanism through the development of geology, chemistry, and astronomy. The book explores how volcanism relates to the broader themes of the Earth's formation, its geological and chemical composition, and its place within the solar system. Delving into the complexities of volcanic activity, the author explores the physical characteristics of volcanic eruptions, the mechanisms that drive them, and the role gases and heat play in their formation. Throughout, the book contextualizes volcanism within the larger historical framework of Earth sciences, highlighting the dynamic nature of scientific knowledge and the ongoing quest to unravel the intricate workings of our planet.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the chemical composition of igneous rocks, providing a comprehensive understanding of their formation and the minerals they contain. Igneous rocks form when molten magma cools and solidifies, shaping the Earth's crust and mantle throughout geologic time. The author meticulously examines the chemical elements found in these rocks, their proportions, and their interactions. Through detailed analysis and discussion, the book unveils the intricate relationships between the minerals and the chemical processes that govern their formation. By exploring the composition and behavior of igneous rocks, this book enriches our knowledge of the Earth's geological history and the forces that have shaped our planet.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive study of igneous rocks, delving into the materials that compose them, how they came to be, and where they can be found. The author presents a systematic method of categorizing igneous rocks, based on their chemical makeup and the minerals they contain. The book is organized into two parts. The first part describes and classifies igneous rocks. The second part explains their occurrence and distribution around the world. The author also provides a detailed index to assist the reader in navigating the many rock types covered throughout the book. This valuable reference guide will prove to be an essential companion for students, geologists, and rock enthusiasts alike.
