Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a catalogue of rock specimens from around the world, written in the historical context of the mid 19th century. As such, the information contained within is largely outdated, particularly from a geological perspective. It does, however, reveal an organizing schema based on the then very recent scientific understanding of rock types and their properties. The author presents a coherent if incomplete analysis of the role of rock and minerals in the recent history of the earth. The book should be of interest to historians of science and collectors of antique geological specimens. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
