good resource 2008-09-29
This particular "rock identificatin book" is pretty good. The photos of samples are good and in color. However, it is not a comprehensive as our earth science instructor had hoped. On the whole, it is a good text for beginners.


Rocks and Minerals 2007-12-18
I found it to be very helpful for my students since we don't always have an opportunity to get out and actually see these rocks, etc.


Pough's Field Guide to Rocks and Minerals 2007-10-27
It has been some time since I have had a copy of this well written book and having now obtained the latest edition I have found it to be of the same high standard as the earlier editions. The old copy that I used to own was a hard copy version and was bounded in a more secure way than this latest edition which seems to be glued together. The result being that one page has already come loose and it is most likely to be an ongoing problem. But the contents of the book itself is of a high standard.


Bought it for my 8-yr old 2007-06-18
I bought this book for my 8-year old daughter who is really into gems. It is really too old for her, and has few pictures. I'm sure it is fine for someone older.


My review 2007-04-26
I'm really in to rocks now so I don't want a guide on how rocks are formed I want a guide of what the look like, how hard they are, and other stuff. peace out
