excellent
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is useful for more than one subject. Optical mineralogy, petrology, mineralogy so it is a good buy. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to get into or know more about mineralogy/optical mineralogy, and petrology.
A Mineralogy Text That Is Easy to Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
My search for an appropriate introductory mineralogy text is over! Dexter Perkins has written a book that actually makes the complex and conceptual content of mineralogy accessible to sophomore students. (Well, it does take some effort; he is not a miracle-worker.) His explanations are clear, concise, and descriptive. I highly recommend this text.
Mineralogy course material
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
When I took my first course in mineralogy it was Perkings' Mineralogy that was recommended as a study book. I am still using this in my mineralogy hobbies and studies. I have found book very useful in crystallography and hand specimen identification. I gave grade 4/5 to the book because of the lacking mineral specimen crystal morphology pictures which is very interesting in further development in classical crystallography.
