The mafic finger book is a geological term used to describe a specific type of rock formation that is commonly found in igneous rocks. Mafic refers to the composition of the rock, which is rich in magnesium and iron, while finger-like structures refer to the unique shape and texture of the rock. Mafic finger books are typically formed when magma slowly cools and solidifies underground. As the magma cools, it undergoes a process called fractional crystallization, where minerals with higher melting points crystallize first, leaving behind a magma with a higher concentration of magnesium and iron. During this process, the minerals within the magma can separate into distinct layers or bands, creating the characteristic finger-like structures. These bands can vary in thickness, ranging from a few millimeters to several centimeters, and can be seen clearly when the rock is broken or exposed.
This book made me feel Excited
They were deeply interested in and satisfied with the words alone, so as awesome as Quentin Blake is, the illustrations were take-it-or-leave-it for this one. At minimum, this story makes us stop and ask why we still go out there and kill some wild animals when we don t necessarily need to since the grocery store is closer and cheaper.
These bands can vary in thickness, ranging from a few millimeters to several centimeters, and can be seen clearly when the rock is broken or exposed. Mafic finger books are commonly found in basalt and gabbro rocks, which are types of igneous rocks that solidify from mafic magma. These rocks are commonly found in volcanic regions, mid-oceanic ridges, and areas where tectonic plates are spreading apart.
The mafic finyer book
As we continue to breeze through some of Roald Dahl’s shorter books during our unofficial “Year of Dahl,” I continue to be amazed at the unexpected twists he wrangles into his stories and the turns he abruptly takes. This one really surprised me (almost as much as George’s Marvellous Medicine had)!
With a title like The Magic Finger, a whole world of plot possibilities exists. Had you assigned me 1,000 guesses beforehand, I’d not have anticipated even the subject of this book, let alone its outcome. Well done, Dahl! You’ve done it again!
Er, you did it again….nearly 60 years ago.
This story begins with an eight-year-old girl telling the reader about herself, her neighbors the Greggs, and what she calls her “Magic Finger.” This magic finger has a history of being able to turn people (like her teacher) into animals (like a cat) whenever she gets flustered and angry. When she notices the Greggs returning from a hunting trip in which they’ve killed some ducks, she loses it and places (what can only be described as) a curse on the whole family.
What ensues is a sadly humorous affair where the whole family turns into ducks and where ducks-turned-human take over their home. The family adapts all right to duck living (roosting and making a nest in a tree was a bit…non-ducklike, but whatever), but they desperately long to get back to their home—and to get the duck-humans out of it!
Quentin Blake’s illustrations add life, of course, to the story as a whole, but since I read it to the kids (who sat across the room from me and didn’t see the illustrations), they didn’t miss out. They were deeply interested in and satisfied with the words alone, so as awesome as Quentin Blake is, the illustrations were take-it-or-leave-it for this one.
Published in 1964, this seems to be a very early anti-gun, pro-animal story for kids—unexpected yet definitely familiar messages for kid-readers today. I’m a naturalist of sorts and haven’t hunted since I was 13 (not because I love animals so much, but because I hate getting lost!), so I can appreciate somewhat the sentiments.
At minimum, this story makes us stop and ask why we still go out there and kill some wild animals when we don’t necessarily need to…since the grocery store is closer and cheaper. Maybe it’s because wild animals taste better are often healthier? Or maybe because it’s less cruel than mass-farming them with chemicals only so we can kill and eat them right out of the cage? I don’t know. Again, it wasn’t a discussion I was planning to have with my kids when we picked up The Magic Finger, but hey! At least Dahl’s still surprising us!
this book is great because it has a lot of fantasy and it is very fuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy
One of the main reasons geologists study mafic finger books is to understand the processes that occur beneath the Earth's surface during volcanic activity and tectonic plate movements. By studying the composition and structure of these rocks, scientists can gain insights into the formation and evolution of the Earth's crust. In addition, mafic finger books can also be used as indicators of past geologic events. For example, the presence of mafic finger books in certain rock formations can suggest the occurrence of ancient volcanic eruptions or the movement of tectonic plates millions of years ago. Overall, the study of mafic finger books provides valuable information about the Earth's history and processes that have shaped its surface. By analyzing these unique rock formations, scientists can continue to deepen our understanding of the planet we live on..
