Literarturvorstellung GESTEINE
Die neubearbeitete 2. Auflage des Buches stellt ein
umfangreiches Nachschlagewerk für Gesteine sowie ein kompaktes
Bestimmungsbuch für den Einsatz im Gelände dar. In zwei Teilen Systematik,
gliedert sich das Werk einen ersten beschreibenden Teil, in dem
Bildungsprozesse magmatischer, sedimentärer und metamorpher
Bestimmung,
Gesteine erläutert werden. Weiterhin wird die der Zusammenhang Entstehung
bzw. die Bedeutung der Plattentektonik für die gesteinsbildenden
Prozesse dargestellt. 2. vollst. neu bearb. Auflage
Schweizerbart | Stuttgart 2014
Unteranderem wird auf die wichtigsten Minerale der
Gesteinsbildung eingegangen und die Elemente der Charakterisierung,
der Klassifikation sowie der genauen Identifikation von Gesteinen
aufgezeigt. In diesem Zusammenhang werden im Detail auf die
räumlichen Mineralanordnungen und die jeweiligen Beschaffenheit
eingegangen. Dabei werden nicht nur Sachverhalte beschrieben,
sondern es werden die Sachverhalte im direkten Kontext zu den
Bildungsprozessen dargestellt. Besonders die dargestellten
Zusammenhänge vermitteln dem Leser/Anwender komplexe
Sachverhalte in detaillierter und zugleich allgemein verständlicher
Art und Weise.
Ergänzt wird der zweite Teil des Buches durch einen im Anhang
befindlichen Bestimmungsschlüssel für Magmatite, Sedimentite
und Metamorphite. Der Bestimmungsschlüssel ist übersichtlich und
verständlich aufgebaut, so dass auch ohne detailliertes Vorwissen
eine Bestimmung von Gesteinen möglich ist. Durch die farbigen
Markierungen an den Seitenrändern wird ein schneller und einfacher
Zugriff auf die enthaltenen Informationen über die jeweiligen
Gesteinsgruppen gewährleistet. Die Farbmarkierung sind besonders
für die Praxis im Feldeinsatz von Vorteil und erlauben schnelles Finden
gewünschter Informationen ohne aufwendiges Suchen.
Dank der Neuerungen in der 2. Auflage stellt das Werk nicht nur WEITERE INFORMATIONEN:
eine Bestimmungsliteratur für Geowissenschaftler dar, sondern
eignet sich auch für interessierte Laien und Studierende. E. Schweizerbart´sche
