Description
This is a valuable introduction to mineralogy and related specialities such as petrology, crystallography and soil science. Discoveries in these fields are described in a historical context, while the authors explain what minerals and rocks are, how they are distributed, how we depend on them and where to see the most beautiful specimens.
