Beschreibung

Opal Formationexplores the fascinating geological processes behind the creation of opals, those gemstones celebrated for their captivating "play-of-color." This book reveals how specific environmental conditions and geological history determine an opal's unique traits. You'll discover that the formation of opals involves silica deposits and transport, crucial for understanding broader geological phenomena. The book also highlights that deeper knowledge of opal genesis aids in more effective exploration and sustainable mining practices.

 
The book begins by introducing opal composition and then examines silica gel formation, explaining how its hardening results in the nanoscale structure responsible for the "play-of-color." It explores diverse geological settings, from arid deserts to volcanic terrains, showcasing where opals form. Case studies from regions like Australia and Ethiopia demonstrate the influence of local hydrology, rock chemistry, and tectonic activity on opal deposits.

 
By bridging mineralogy, geochemistry, and geology, this study presents an integrated model of opal genesis, considering factors like pH and temperature, making it valuable for geology students, mineral enthusiasts, and gemologists alike.

    The dramatic story of an ingenious man who explained nature and created a country. 
     
     
     
    Benjamin Franklin was one of the preeminent scientists of his time. Driven by curiosity, he conducted cutting-edge research on electricity, heat, ocean currents, weather patterns, chemical bonds, and plants. But today, Franklin is remembered more for his political prowess and diplomatic achievements than his scientific creativity. 
     
     
     
    In this incisive and rich account of Benjamin Franklin's life and career, Richard Munson recovers this vital part of Franklin's story, reveals his modern relevance, and offers a compelling portrait of a shrewd experimenter, clever innovator, and visionary physicist whose fame opened doors to negotiate French support and funding for American independence. 
     
     
     
    Munson's riveting narrative explores how science underpins Franklin's entire story—from tradesman to inventor to nation-founder—and argues that Franklin's political life cannot be understood without giving proper credit to his scientific accomplishments.

    Edward Abbey, who never much liked Alaska, called it "our biggest, buggiest, boggiest state." To others, it has been a cure for despair. When Michael Engelhard moved to Fairbanks more than three decades ago, he was a cheechako, a subarctic tenderfoot. Gathering skills and experiences the hard way, he attained "Sourdough" status while realizing there would always be more to learn, see, and do in the land of midnight sun and auroras. 
     
     
     
    En route, Engelhard suffered frostbite, stubborn yaks, grizzly charges, trophy hunters, cold-water immersion, heartbreak, incontinent raptors, one pesky squirrel, and honeymooners from abroad. He tried to rescue a raven and explored Arctic dunes and a glacier's blue heart, and his own as he mingled with caribou on their epic journeys.
