Magic of minerals and rocks / Dirk J. Wiersma

Public ISBD Titre : Magic of minerals and rocks Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Dirk J. Wiersma, Auteur Editeur : Berlin : Springer Année de publication : 2002 Importance : 160p Présentation : couv. ill. fig.en coul. Format : 35cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-540-21053-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Minéralogie Pétrologie Lames  minces  (géologie) Index. décimale : 552.1 Caractéristiques et propriétés des roches en général. Pétrologie physique et physico-chimique Résumé : The Magic of Minerals and Rock, featuring 135 splendid color photographs, ranges from vast rock-landscapes recorded in Europe, America, Australia, and Iceland right down to finely detailed images of a few square millimeters. Close-ups of crystals, gems, and fossils are alternated with micro-images of the minute textures and patterns that emerge from thin, translucent sections of rocks and minerals. Literally, as well as figuratively Dirk Wiersma, the photographer, ´zooms in` on the subject matter, leading the reader deeper into various spaces of surprising new forms and perspectives, at times abstract, at other times (pseudo)realistic. Often, striking similarities are revealed between subjects that are ostensibly of entirely different natures and dimensions. The short, accompanying texts are written in a style that is accessible and appealing to a general audience, while also providing the necessary factual information.
