Rocks and Minerals

Rocks and Minerals is written for an introductory, college-level, non-lab course in Earth Sciences.  The material is presented in a bulleted format rather than the traditional narrative format, allowing the student quick access to important concepts and providing for a more stream-lined learning experience.  Following each chapter is a series of review questions and demonstrations to assist the student in visualizing and comprehending the often-confusing, rock-and-mineral classification schemes and identification procedures.
