A valuable pocket guide for the amateur geologist and rock hound, Aug 19 2005
By John Hopkinson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Guide to Minerals, Rocks and Fossils (Paperback)
I bought this book after having found a borrowed copy of the original (and virtually identical) Philip's version indispensible to me as an amateur trying to teach myself some geology and mineralogy. It holds just about as much as is possible for a book designed to be taken into and used in the field, with a more thorough and well illustrated cover of rocks, minerals and fossils than I would have thought possible in the space. In addition there are excellent brief explanatory sections on such things as crystal systems and rock formation. But the quality I admire most about it is that it is truly international and could be used with equal facility in many countries. It avoids a problem I have found with some other similar texts, which is over-emphasis on examples from the country of origin of the book, reducing apparent relevance and interest to readers elsewhere.
