Lamprophyres
Author: N. M. S. Rock
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1475709293
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Following their recognition by GUmbel (1874), lamprophyres were treated for an entire century as little more than obscure curiosities. Although this situation has changed recently, with a flowering of publications and active workers, lamprophyres remain almost the only group of igneous rocks which have not yet received attention in a dedicated monograph. In five exploratory reviews (1977-1987), the writer aimed to set out what was known about these rocks. The lUGS Subcommission on igneous rock systematics had meanwhile presented its nomenclatural framework (Streckeisen 1979). All this has now been overtaken by a recent explosion of interest, epitomized not least by lamprophyres' greater prominence in the 4th International Kimberlite Conference Proceedings. More data have become available since 1985 than over the entire previous century, and it is obviously impossible for such an extraordinary outpouring to be fully reviewed in this first, preliminary book. At the risk of dissatisfying some readers, therefore, this book concentrates on factual matters, and on a broad overview rather than minutiae. Because not even a world map of known lamprophyres was previously available, almost half the book is deliberately taken up by the first global lamprophyre compilation, and its commensurately extensive Bibliography. Such a compendium of largely objective information is believed to be of more immediate interest and lasting value than a premature pottage of petrogenetic polemic. Chapters 1-7 bring previous studies up to date, and concentrate on factual information.

The Viking Age in Caithness, Orkney, and the North Atlantic
Author: Colleen E. Batey
Publisher: Edinburgh University Press
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 584
Book Description
"The Viking Diaspora presents the early medieval migrations of people, language and culture from mainland Scandinavia to new homes in the British Isles, the North Atlantic, the Baltic and the East, in the period known as the Viking Age as a form of 'diaspora'. It concentrates on the connectedness between migrants and both their homelands and regions within the diaspora, particularly through language, naming customs and in traditional stories and poems. Rather than the movements of armies, it considers the movements of people, and on the linguistic and cultural effects of those population movements. Providing a broad survey of the Viking Age and its aftermath, the book draws evidence from a wide range of sources that will interest students and academics"--
