John Wiley & Son, New York - 18th edition - 1971 softcover, 6¼" x 8¾" Book in GOOD condition Ideal for the beginning course in mineralogy. Major sections start with crystallography, followed by physical, chemical, and descriptive mineralogy. Although modern mineralogists share in the scientific disciplines of the physicist and the chemist and use physical and chemical techniques to construct a truer and more exact picture of the intrinsic nature of crystalline minerals, they have never forgotten that they are natural scientists whose primary purpose is the search for keys to the problems of earth history.
