Die Kristallinen Schiefer Eine Darstellung der Erscheinungen der Gesteinsmetamorphose und ihrer Produkte

Abstract

ORIGINATING in a course of lectures at Zürich, based largely on the author's own researches among the crystalline scMsts of the Alps, Prof. Grubenmann's book has already made for itself a place in petrographical literature. The two parts, general and special, issued separately in 1904 and 1906 respectively, are in the new edition included more conveniently in a single volume; but the general plan of the work remains unchanged, and the additions found here result merely from the growth of material during the last five years. Thus, in the first part, there is some revision of those sections which deal with the application of physico-chemical principles, and some interesting illustrations of original sedimentation, mixed injection, & c., are drawn from recent work in Finland and Scandinavia. The additions made to the second part of the book are perhaps more important, including a large number of chemical analyses, and some simplification of the classificatory scheme.
