This guide to sedimentary rocks is part of a series that introduces the main types of rocks and soils, important minerals and their composition and properties. Using a variety of examples and evidence, it explains how and why they occur, and the processes involved in their formation. The uses of rocks, soil and minerals are explored, and how we come into contact with them in everyday life. The series also covers environmental and social issues associated with their extraction and use, such as pollution and the impact of mining on the environment.

McKees Rocks and Stowe Township, just downriver from the Point of Pittsburgh, contributed significantly to the growth of steel and transportation in western Pennsylvania. In 1888, the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad, known as the “Little Giant,” built a 100-acre maintenance facility in McKees Rocks, igniting the spark to the region’s massive industrial, business, and population explosion. By 1910, the population soared to 15,000, fueled by the rapid influx of nearly 6,000 immigrants. A landmark event in labor history occurred in July 1909, when 5,000 foreign workers, representing

Decades of field and microscope studies, and more recent quantitative geochemical analyses have resulted in a vast, and sometimes overwhelming, array of nomenclature and terminology associated with igneous rocks. This book presents a complete classification of igneous rocks based on all the recommendations of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) Subcommission on the Systematics of Igneous Rocks. The glossary of igneous terms has been fully updated since the first edition and now includes 1633 entries, of which 312 are recommended by the Subcommission.
