Based on his Cambridge lectures, this work by the petrologist Alfred Harker (1859–1939) offers an introduction to the development of rocks. Over the course of the work, he discusses vulcanicity, rock structure, crystallization, the role of magma and principles of rock classification, aided by more than one hundred diagrams.
