Editorial Review:
Atlas of rock-forming minerals in thin section This full-colour handbook illustrates the appearance of common rock-forming minerals as seen in thin section under the polarizing microscope. It is not intended to replace a mineralogy textbook — rather it is designed to be used as a laboratory manual alongside the standard texts, by all students of earth sciences from sixth form to honours degree level. The book contains over 200 photomicrographs accompanied by short descriptions and summaries of the optical properties of the various minerals. The photographs are taken in either plane-polarized light or under crossed polars, and are carefully chosen to show the features by which the minerals can most easily be recognised.

Average Customer Rating: 
great book 2000-05-03
I am Earth Sciences student too. This book is really great for petrology. As I am 1st year student and don't know mineral well so this book give me a guide to classify those minerals.
Superb color photographs 1999-04-23
I have taken a course in Optical Mineralogy and Petrography, and although the text used was Nesse, I believe that this Atlas was adjunct to the course. Although I do not have a petrographic microscope, I recently saw this title in a used book shop near a college town, and could not resist buying it (for about $6 I think). What a bargain. However, such an occurrence is rare indeed.
Clear, informative and reader friendly. Good book ! 1999-01-04
Hi, I'm a Chinese and living in Hong Kong. I studied in Earth Sciences for the second year. To me, this book safe me from the lost world in petrology. The colourful, sharp photos in the book illustrated what you'll see under microscope and greatly raise my interest. And, clear notes about the minerals or rocks you looking at have been given. They can give reader both visual and wordful memories. Some other books of this author are also good. They kept the good quality in expressing the information. This book especially good for starter in petrology.
