Manual of Mineral Science 23rd Edition by Cornelis Klein and Barbara Dutrow affords unsurpassed coverage of mineralogy and crystallography. The book is thought for integrating complete coverage of ideas and principles with a more systematic and descriptive remedy of mineralogy. The revised edition now features a CD-ROM to let readers see the minerals and crystals, while additionally viewing chemical composition, symmetry, and morphological crystallography.
This text incorporates 22 chapters, instead of 14 as in the prior edition. This is the results of having packaged coherent subject material into smaller, extra simply accessible units. Every chapter has a brand new and expanded introductory statement, which supplies the user a quick overview of what is to come. Simply earlier than these introductions, every chapter features a new illustration that highlights some aspect of the subject in that specific chapter.
All such changes make the text more readable, user-friendly and searchable. Many of the first 14 chapters are reasonably independent of each other, allowing for great flexibility in an instructor's preferred subject sequence. The majority of illustrations in this edition were re-rendered and/or redesigned and many new photographs, mainly of mineral specimens, were added.
This text features new chapters on crystal chemistry and mineral stability diagrams, more logical treatments of morphology and internal crystal structure along with extensively revised chapters on mineral chemistry and physical properties. It also includes outstanding illustrations, hand specimen photographs and transmission electron microscope structure projects.
This new edition has made several improvements over the last one. The organization is clearer and better prepared. This book provides a better explanation and more detailed examples than other books of this type. The CD is a great asset for readers in comprehending the hirarchy of crystal organization and provides better visualization of the three-dimensional aspects of the various crystal forms and structures.
