This is the ultimate photographic guide to the world of rocks and
minerals, as well as how to build your own collection. An extensive
introduction section describes the impact of factors such as time,
weather and water erosion on the development of these substances,
and the part played by natural phenomena such as volcanoes and
earthquakes. Specimens are grouped according to their chemical
composition and characteristics, and all entries include
quick-reference identification checklists to aid recognition. A
scientific introduction looks at the origins of these materials and
their impact on the landscape, with examples of striking natural
formations and explanatory diagrams. The amateur geologist is shown
how to identify specimens by their appearance, texture, hardness,
and density, as well as how to extract samples safely, how to clean
and store rocks and minerals, and build and present their own
collection. Featuring over 800 images, this book is a classic
illustrated encyclopedia and field guide on an endlessly
fascinating and richly consuming subject.
