This concise, clear and handy-sized volume, aimed at the
undergraduate level, provides an introduction to the observation,
description and identifi cation in thin section, using the
polarizing microscope, of samples of the commonlyoccurring rocks
and minerals. Illustrated with a wealth of full colour thin section
photomicrographs, and with the original images enhanced by new
examples and a revised text, the book explains how to observe
mineral and rock samples under the microscope. The book highlights
the important diagnostic features of minerals and deals with all
rock types - igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic - each with equal
emphasis and authority, giving students the knowledge and confi
dence to begin to identify specimens for themselves. While intended
for students in geology, geography, civil engineering and materials
science, the book stands on its own as a beautiful collection of
photomicrographs and a permanent source of reference and
fascination for all those interested in the nature and science of
the world of rocks and minerals.
Provides a very clear guide to sedimentary rock types as seen under
the microscope supported by practical aspects of slide preparation.

Diese Schrift versucht, neue methodische Moglichkeiten fiir die
Psychopathologie des Gedachtnisses zu zeigen. Die heutigen
informationstheoretischen Methoden sollten aber weniger in den
Laboratorien als bei standiger klinischer Anwendung realisiert und
diagnostisch bewahrt sein. Wenn wir mit diesen Anspriichen dem
gegenwartigen Stand der Arbeiten vorgreifen, so verweisen wir
gleichzeitig auf eine Schwache der vorliegenden Schrift, die noch
ein MiBverhaltnis zwischen methodischen Aspekten und begrenzten
klinischen Resultaten erkennen laBt. Diese Resultate sollten sich
auch an einer aktuellen Gesamtdarstellung der Psycho- pathologie
des Gedachtnisses orientieren und messen konnen. Da eine solche
Darstel- lung nicht vorliegt, muBten die Grundlagen der mnestischen
Psychopathologie eror- tert werden. Dabei wurde auch auf die schon
weiter entwickelte psychologische Lite- ratur zuriickgegriffen, und
es wurden einige morphologische und neurophysiologische Korrelate
des Gedachtnisses zitiert. Unter dem fiihrenden
informationspsychologischen Aspekt entstand so ein zweifellos sehr
eigenwilliger Aufbau dieser Schrift, die jetzt nur einen Anfang
zeigen will und daher keine weiteren Wege in dieser oder jener
Richtung endgiiltig festlegen mochte.
