This is a discount Black and white version. Some images may be unclear, please see BCCampus website for the digital version.This book was born out of a 2014 meeting of earth science educators representing most of the universities and colleges in British Columbia, and nurtured by a widely shared frustration that many students are not thriving in courses because textbooks have become too expensive for them to buy. But the real inspiration comes from a fascination for the spectacular geology of western Canada and the many decades that the author spent exploring this region along with colleagues, students, family, and friends. My goal has been to provide an accessible and comprehensive guide to the important topics of geology, richly illustrated with examples from western Canada. Although this text is intended to complement a typical first-year course in physical geology, its contents could be applied to numerous other related courses.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1881 edition. Excerpt: ... STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY. In geology, just as in biology, there are two ways of studying structure, -- the small way and the large way. In the case of an organism, we may select a single part or organ, and, disregarding its external form and relations to other parts, observe its composition and minute structure, the various forms and arrangements of the cells, etc. This is histology, and it is the complement of that larger method of studying structure which is ordinarily understood by anatomy. The divisions of structural geology corresponding to histology and anatomy are lithology and petrology. Lithology is an in-door science; we use the microscope largely, and work with hand specimens or thin sections of the rocks, observing the composition and those small structural features which go under the general name of texture. In petrology, on the other hand, we consider the larger kinds of rock-structure, such as stratification, jointing, folds, faults, cleavage, etc.; and it is essentially an out-door science, since to study it to the best advantage we must have, not hand specimens, but ledges, cliffs, railway-cuttings, gorges, and mountains. LITHOLOGY. A rock is any mineral, or mixture of minerals, occurring in masses of considerable size. This distinction of size is the only one that can be made between rocks and minerals, and that is very indefinite. A rock, whether composed of one mineral or several, is always an aggregate; and therefore no single crystal or mineral-grain can properly be called a rock. Before proceeding to study particularly the various kinds of rocks, a little more preliminary work should be done. As already intimated, the more important characteristics of rocks may be grouped under two general heads, -- composition and...

This extensive revision deals with the minerals talc, pyrophyllite, chlorite, serpentine, stilpnomelane, zussmanite, prehnite and apophyllite. The text has been completely rewritten and very much expanded to take account of the many advances that have been made in all aspects of the Earth sciences, not least mineralogy. Each chapter is headed by a brief tabulation of mineral data and ends with full references. Crystal structures are described and illustrated, followed by discussion of structural information gained from spectroscopic as well as X-ray and electron-optic methods. Chemical sections include many analyses and structural formulae, phase relations, igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary geochemistry, alteration and weathering. Examples are given of a range of mineral parageneses. Correlation between the various aspects of mineralogy are emphasized in order to provide a scientific understanding of minerals as well as their description and identification. So great has been the expansion of research on layered silicates that a separate volume (3A, 2003) was devoted entirely to micas and another (3C), entirely for clay minerals will also be published. Rock-Forming Minerals is an essential reference work for professionals, researchers and postgraduate students in Earth science and related fields in chemistry, physics, engineering, environmental and soil sciences.
