Metamorphic Processes: Reactions and Microstructure Development HARDCOVER

1976026584New York: John Wiley & Sons 1976. HARDCOVER edition. NOT a library discard. Appears unread. Fine condition in a Fine dust jacket. NO fading chips tears or creases. Sharp corners. Pages are fresh crisp clean and unmarked -- apparently never read. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. NOT a library discard. Illustrated with numerous maps and figures. Bound in the original brown boards stamped in bright silver. From the dust jacket: "In this advanced book intended for senior undergraduates postgraduates and research workers in petrology and structural geology Dr. Vernon examines the small scale features of metamorphism; chemical reactions and the development of microstructure or textures." From the author's Preface: "This book is for senior undergraduate or postgraduate students who want an insight into some modern approaches to metamorphic petrology. Its aims are to explain in reasonably simple informal terms the processes underlying i metamorphic reactions and ii the production of micro structures in metamorphic rocks these currently being the things that interest me most geologically. The first aim requires discussion of equilibrium factors reaction kinetics and reaction mechanisms empha sising both the complexity of realistic reactions and the need to combine the chemical and microstructural approaches to them. The second aim requires discussion of deformation recovery recrystallisation and grain growth processes with emphasis on experiments on silicate minerals. The book concludes with a general attempt to relate chemical and physical processes in metamorphism although it will be clear from reading earlier chapters especially Chapter 4 that the two aspects can rarely be separated completely in detailed metamorphic studies. Petrological and experimental investigations of metamorphic reactions and microstructural development are advancing so rapidly these days that students are faced with an ever-increasing volume of information and a relatively rapid obsolescence of data. So in this book I do not try to be comprehensive or to present much so-called 'factual' information. Instead I deal more with basic principles in the hope that these will guide the student in his or her encounters with the details of specific metamorphic problems". First Edition. Hardcover.

A Traveller's Notes or Notes of a Tour through India Malaysia Japan Corea the Australian Colonies and New Zealand during the years 1891-1893

1896018101Royal Exotic Nursery Chelsea: Printed for Private Circulation 1896. With signed presentation inscription to J. Hollingsworth head gardener at Tredegar Park followed by Margam Park. Illustrated with a large folding map frontispiece with as usual tears and creases at the upper join now neatly repaired nine large full-page plates on heavy card. many small text images from photographs quarto pp 219 slight age-toning and marking some inner joints rather cracked and weak the last third of the book has rather damp-wrinkled pages with light staining on the last few pages original decorated cloth with paper inlay bevelled edges a bit rubbed and marked the spine dull and age-toned andpulled at the head and tail the upper cover slightly unevenly age-toned. In October 1891 Veitch embarked on a tour of inspection of the great Botanic and Public Gardens maintained by governments in various countries as well as visiting many private horticultural establishments to decide whether the Veitch gardens and nurseries might be enriched by further additions. He set off by way of Rome and Naples to Ceylon thence overland from Tuticorin to Lahore. He continued to Calcutta and on to the Straits Settlements. In Penang he visited the Botanic Gardens whose curator Charles Curtis was formerly employed by James Veitch & Sons as a plant collector before moving on to Singapore where he visited the Botanic Gardens. He then visited Johore before returning to Singapore in February 1892 when he climbed Bukit Timah the highest point on the island with Walter Fox curator of the Gardens. He then travelled to Buitenzorg West Java where he visited the Botanical Gardens. He also explored the crater of Kawah Papandajan volcano and visited Lake Bagendit near Garoet. His travels then took him to Japan where he met Charles Sprague Sargent of the Arnold Arboretum and they undertook a joint plant collecting expedition including ascending the Hakkoda Mountains together. After visiting Korea he reached Australia in 1893. However he found Australia disappointing and wrote that it was easier to collect seed in Japan where there was cheap labour; in Australia "no one will help". He complained that the seeds of many plants "were so tiny he did not know if he was collecting seed or dust". He sent to Kew a collection of dried specimens of 250 species from Western Australia. Later he visited the North Island of New Zealand before returning to England in July 1893. . Signed by Author. First Edition. Cloth. Fair. Printed for Private Circulation Hardcover
