Illustrated with a wealth of full colour thin section photomicrographs, and with the original images enhanced by new examples and a revised text, the book explains how to observe mineral and rock samples under the microscope. The book highlights the important diagnostic features of minerals and deals with all rock types – igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic – each with equal emphasis and authority, giving students the knowledge and confi dence to begin to identify specimens for themselves.

Do not underestimate this book if you have an interest in mineral identification from thin section. It is a very nice text.

This elegant book fits nicely in one's hand and is beautifully reproduced. It is full of clear and high quality color photographs: each photograph telling an important story. Do not underestimate this book if you have an interest in mineral identification from thin section. While it is aimed at the introductory level students and as such is very carefully laid out, it may be helpful to all optical petrographers.

Atlas of rock-forming minerals in thin section This full-colour handbook illustrates the appearance of common rock-forming minerals as seen in thin section under the polarizing microscope. It is not intended to replace a mineralogy textbook - rather it is designed to be used as a laboratory manual alongside the standard texts, by all students of earth sciences from sixth form to honours degree level. The book contains over 200 photomicrographs accompanied by short descriptions and summaries of the optical properties of the various minerals.
