Mineralogy (2° ed )
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : PERKINS Dexter
For undergraduate courses in mineralogy or courses that combine mineralogy and petrology. This student-oriented text is written in a casual, jargon-free style to present a modern introduction to mineralogy. It emphasizes real-world applications as well as the history and human side of mineralogy.

- NEW- More emphasis placed on problems encountered in everyday life- Including environmental problems.
- NEW- Updated photographs.
- NEW- More in-depth treatment of Optical Mineralogy- Adapted from the very successful - Minerals in Thin Section.
- NEW- Digital Image Gallery (DIGIT) CD-ROM for instructors. Created by the author, this CD contains hundreds of digital museum-quality mineral hand samples for use in the lecture. Designed to be easily importable into PowerPoint or any other lecture presentation software.
- Student-oriented text.
- Appropriate order of topic presentation- Explains the large, understandable topics first, then explains why the little things are important for understanding the larger picture.
- Emphasizes sciences outside of mineralogy- Such a
