Toward a History of Igneous Geology: The Intellectual Foundations of Bowen's Theory of Fractional Crystallization

地质学的历史发展得很少，在这一历史中，有关火成岩地质学的知识尤其缺乏。 作为火成岩地理学历史综合调查的一部分，本项目将考察诺曼·L。Bowen的分级结晶理论。 在这种情况下，特别值得关注的是鲍文如何从旧思想的废墟中构建他的理论，使用野外地质学，岩相学，溶液理论和实验岩石学等不同的材料。 要做到这一点的各种材料将被检查，包括岩石成因理论，野外地质，物理化学和岩相学的主要地质文献;在相同的主题二级文献;和传记材料。

The history of geology is little developed, and within that history knowledge about igneous geology is especially scant. As part of a comprehensive survey of the history of igneous geography, this project will examine Norman L. Bowen's theory of fractional crystallization. Of particular concern in this case is how Bowen constructed his theory from the ruins of older ideas, using such diverse materials as field geology, petrography, solution theory, and experimental petrology. To accomplish this a variety of materials will be examined, including primary geologic literature on petrogenetic theory, field geology, physical chemistry, and petrography; secondary literature on the same topics; and biographical material.
