DK Handbook: Rocks and Minerals
More Information on DK Handbook
The Eyewitness Handbook of Rocks and Minerals is packed with 600
vivid full-color photos of more than 500 specimens. The authoritative and
systematic photographic approach, with words never separated from pictures,
marks a new generation of identification guides.
This book is designed for beginners and experienced collectors alike. First,
the introduction explains how and where to find rocks and minerals. Using
photographs, it highlights the specific properties that help identify
minerals, then gathers that information into one convenient table listing
the properties of each mineral in the book. To help in the initial stages of
rock identification, a clear visual key illustrates the differences between
igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks, then guides the reader to the
correct rock entry.
Each rock and mineral entry offers precise description with annotated
photographs to clarify characteristics and distinguishing features.
Accompanying color-coded bands provide at-a-glance facts for quick
reference. In addition, each mineral entry features an illustration showing
the crystal system to which the mineral belongs. Finally, a concise glossary
provides instant understanding of technical and scientific terms. Easy to
use and beautiful to look at, the Eyewitness Handbooks build into
the definitive library for enthusiasts and browsers of all ages.
