Das Standardwerk für die Geowissenschaften sowie für alle Liebhaber von Gesteinen und an Geologie Interessierte.

In diesem Buch vermittelt Roland Vinx die Grundlagen der Gesteinskunde praxisorientiert und leicht verständlich. Dabei kommt es ihm besonders auf die Bestimmung mit makroskopischen Methoden an, d. h. unter Geländebedingungen, ohne Mikroskop und ohne chemische Analysen.

Gesteinsbestimmung erfordert eine sichere Diagnose der enthaltenen Minerale. Deswegen werden zunächst die wichtigsten gesteinsbildenden Minerale vorgestellt, danach folgen Beschreibungen der verschiedenen Gesteinsarten in einheitlich strukturierter shape und auf aktuellem Stand der Klassifikationen.

Manchmal ist eine sichere Bestimmung im Gelände prinzipiell nicht möglich. Für solche Fälle wird erläutert, wie guy eine Probe für die examine im hard work nehmen kann, ohne dabei das möglicherweise brilliant Vorkommen zu beeinträchtigen.

Mit diesem Buch werden die Merkmale der Gesteine ohne petrographische Vorkenntnisse verständlich. Sorgfältig ausgewählte, farbige Fotos der beschriebenen Minerale und Gesteine sowie von vielen gesteinstypischen Geländeformen erleichtern das Bestimmen.

Das nach nunmehr neun Jahren bereits in der four. Auflage vorliegende Werk nimmt eine eigene Stellung neben theoretischen Lehrbüchern einerseits und Gesteins- und Mineralienführern andererseits ein.

This publication initially seemed in German in 1974, less than the identify "Bergschadenkunde" (mining subsidence engineering), after which in Russian in 1978, released through Nedra of Moscow. while the German version used to be nearly out of print, Springer-Verlag made up our minds to carry out a brand new variation, this time in English. For this English model the textual content has been completely revised, enlarged, and sup­ plemented by way of over a hundred new figures. The e-book offers with the present nation of overseas knowl­ part on strata and floor flow over mine workings, with its destructive results on mine shafts and the land floor, and with measures for regulating mining harm in legislation and lowering it in perform. dialogue starts with the mine excavation underground - the reason - and ends with the wear to floor constitution- the impact. tools of roof regulate, together with the topic of rock bursts, aren't mentioned, seeing that that may be a box involved extra with the security of underground workings than with minimizing harm on the floor. Of the five hundred literature references within the German edi­ tion, in basic terms the extra vital for a world readership were retained, yet no price judgement at the many pUblica­ tions no longer pointed out could be learn into this. The ebook is especially meant as a operating relief for the mine surveyor, the mining engineer, the architect, and the civil engineer. For the coed and the post-graduate researcher, it of­ fers a precis and advisor to this entire box of knowledge.
