Product Description
This book is based on the 1997 Kongsberg seminar, organised bythe Department of Geology at the University of Oslo. The seminarbrought together scientists from various disciplines involved in thestudy of growth and dissolution of minerals and pattern formation ingeosystems. The volume includes several chapters dealing withnon-equilibrium growth processes and pattern formation, which haverecently become recognised as much more common in geological systemsthan hitherto thought. The multidisciplinary context of this book will promotecross-fertilisation of ideas in a rapidly developing area that has awide range of important applications in mineralogy and petrology aswell as in other areas of science and technology. Audience: This volume will be of interest not only to a wideaudience within the geoscience community, but also to scientistsworking in related disciplines interested in mineral growth anddissolution processes in general and the coupling of such processeswith transport and deformation in sedimentary and metamorphic systems. ...

Product Description
Much past Canadian poetry described our people and landscape in lyrical terms. Combining research and wonder, Looking Through Stone burrows deeper—the first collection of poems in Canada devoted exclusively to geology and mining. Quite literally, it goes underground. From volcanoes to vitamins, the book presents a wealth of factual information. It also explores past, more fanciful notions about how rocks, metals, and minerals fit into our human picture. In its pages, knowledge and imagination meet.

Part I introduces a little basic geology. Part II focuses on the seven metals of the ancients, linked to the planets and days of the week, plus platinum and uranium. Part III delves into myths and legends about the power of gemstones. Part IV looks at the history and technology of mining, and its social and economic impact. A helpful glossary concludes this unique book that brings science and poetry together.
