Produktinformationen zu „SUCCINITE FOSSILIZED RESIN REDISCOVERED (ePub)“
Baltic amber fascinates thousands of tourists who come
to the Baltic Sea. Small children and their parents are
eager to dig in the sand while looking for precious
resin. It is not easy to find, and every large piece
of amber found in the "cucumber season" makes headlines.
Another category of amber hunters are professionals. These
are people who make a living from extracting amber of jewelry
value, because each piece of fossilized resin has quite a lot of
value. This group is quite hermetic, and the places and methods
of extraction remain in the sphere of understatement and are
shrouded in a certain mystery. The aforementioned group is
particularly interested in the uniqueness of Baltic amber, created
by "ancient" rivers, that was already traded by Persians, Vikings
and Mycenaeans. From this group, wonderful jewelry products
are created.
In this book, however, I deal with another aspect of
Baltic amber. The initial idea was to analyze the knowledge of
this fossilized resin in various aspects. The difficulty in getting to
know amber is related to the multidimensionality of the issue.
The problem is that science likes to specialize to be precise. This,
however, limits knowledge of the issue of amber. If we deal with
the question of the formation of the resin, we touch upon issues
in the field of geology. This field is enough to fill many years of
research and work of a scientist. You can look back a hundred
thousand years ago, or into the past millions of years or tens
of millions of years, which means that we delve into such vast
knowledge that the life of one person may be too short to study
the issue well.

Autoren-Porträt von Peter M. Barczak
Piotr M. Barczak developed the beginnings of his passion for geology and minerals while studying in one of the most
important schools of modern Silesia, Poland - the Carolinum
high school in Nysa. The first rector of this school was Christoph
Scheiner, a world-famous Jesuit scholar; a mathematician and an
astronomer whose observations contributed to the discovery of
sunspots. Nobel laureate and American biochemist Konrad Bloch
also graduated from the school. The ancestors of astronomer
Nicolaus Copernicus, the creator of the heliocentric system,
also lived near the town of Nysa. It was in this environment that
the author became interested in biological sciences, chemistry,
geography, and physics. At that time in the field of geography,
a work was already created concerning the area of the nearby
foothills at the junction of the Polish and Czech mountains,
which was awarded in a regional competition of high school
students. The author began the next period of education in
the field of engineering and economics at the University of
Economics in Wroclaw, majoring in chemistry. During his
studies, he had the opportunity to visit places rich in minerals
in Lower Silesia and the Czech Republic. Since high school, he
has also been collecting mineralogical specimens. He graduated
from subsequent studies in Warsaw in the field of journalism
and political science before he studied at the Warsaw University
of Technology in the field of engineering.
Initially, the author worked as a journalist prior to starting his
business, while constantly deepening his knowledge about
minerals. Having his own company allowed him to develop a
collection of minerals and fossils.
