The Field Description of Igneous Rocks
This is a companion volume to the handbooks on sedimentary and metamorphic rocks published by the Geological Society of London in association with the Open University Press. Despite the title, this is more than just a guide to the study of igneous rocks in the field--it provides a concise, compact survey of many facets of igneous petrology. The chapter on volcanic rocks provides a particularly clear exposition of the various features encountered in modern volcanic environments, although serious students should know that palaeovolcanic rocks cannot always be satisfactorily interpreted in these terms. There is also a welcome coverage of the mineral deposits often associated with the later stages of granitic activity. The diagrams are clear and relevant, although some of the photographs suffered during reproduction. It would serve as a general introductory text, although it would need to a companion volume on thin-section petrology, at least for more serious students of the subject. Recommended as a well-balanced attempt to foster a sensible, rational approach to the mysteries of igneous rocks in the field. It also fits the pocket--literally and figuratively.
Virginia Gleanings in England
The series of articles entitled "Virginia Gleanings in England" originally appeared in "The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography." The complete "Virginia Gleanings" series, assembled here in book form, comprises some eighty-five articles, the bulk of them contributed by Lothrop Withington from his post in London. The "gleanings" consist of abstracts of English wills and administrations relating to Virginia and Virginians and bear reference to heirs and issue, family members, administrators, property, bequests, places of residence, and dates of emigration, shedding light on the English origins of Virginia families of the 17th and 18th centuries, and naming some 15,000 persons in passing. These family "gleanings" are furthermore extended backwards and forwards in a remarkable series of textual annotations. The articles are reprinted here in the order in which they appeared in the Magazine and are followed by a complete index of names.
