System of Mineralogy

Informationen zum Autor They tell me it was a 'consciousness download'. I was on holidays in the Philippines in September 1993 and I had the idea that a cosmological Creator Species seeded life on planet earth for the purpose of reproduction. That this Creator Species drove the evolution of greater and greater complexity until one species, our human species, had a large enough and complex enough brain to host their male reproductive cells. So our human consciousness, our soul, is the male sperm cell of that Creator Species. That is pretty weird I thought. I will kick that around for a few days and the wheels will fall off. Well that was nearly 30 years ago, and this is the 6th book, well over 400,000 words in print , and the wheels still have not fallen off. So people - please read the book and tell me where I got it wrong. Still not too late to get my life back again! Klappentext An important text on the Wernerian interpretation of mineralogy by the foremost Scottish naturalist, one of Darwin's teachers. Zusammenfassung Robert Jameson (1774–1854) was professor of natural history at Edinburgh for fifty years. A follower of Werner's influential theory of the formation of the Earth, he later accepted the idea that the Earth was formed by natural processes over geological time. His System of Mineralogy was first published in 1808. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; List of works quoted; System of Oryctognosy; Part I. Class I: Earthy Minerals: 1. Diamond family; 2.
