内容説明
This student-oriented text is written in a casual, jargon-free style to present a modern introduction to mineralogy. It emphasises real-world applications as well as the history and human side of mineralogy. The work also emphasises sciences outside of minerology such as petrology and chemistry while containing short, concise descriptions of minerals.
