Very comprehensive, with great photos

I’ve always enjoyed rock hunting but never knew much about what I was picking up. Now getting into rock tumbling and wanted to learn more about various rocks and how to identify them. Having a good time reading through this, and looking forward to using it as I travel around the country while camping. Very pleased with purchase.

In-depth reading

Item arrived on time, well packaged, no issues.Item was purchased to help indulge my interest in Geology along with being used to accent my "Blockhead" collection of assorted odds and ends (see photos).Item is "hardback" that contains color photos, color graphics, color illustrations and a Glossary in the back which gives a detailed, in-depth description of all of the samples discussed in the book.Basically, it is an Encyclopedia about Rocks & Minerals !There's a lot of information about "Rocks" in this book..."Chuck".

The perfect place for the beginning geologist

I’m new to Geology but wanted to know more about how the landscapes of the American south west were formed and how the huge variety of rock types are found in close proximity. This book does a great job of explaining the history of the earth and the myriad geological processes that form the landscapes we see today. Lots of clear photos and tips for the beginner to help identify rock types. Weekend trips into the foothills take on a new focus as we can start to understand how it’s made!
