Manual of mineralogy. Cornelius S. Hurlbut, Jr. Download PDF. Recommend Documents. Manual of optical mineralogy. Lunar mineralogy. Basic Mineralogy. Mineralogy of Igneous Rocks. Silicate mineralogy of martian meteorites. The value of automated mineralogy. Clay mineralogy of Thai soils. Introduction to Mineralogy. This is the most recent edition of a much used t e x t - b o o k which has been known as Dana's Manual of Mineralogy.

For the first time a chapter has been included on I n t r o d u c t o r y Как сообщается здесь in order to help the elementary student of mineralogy to download for netflix app 10 the processes by which minerals are formed in rocks. The introduction gives a very brief history of mineralogy and is followed by a chapter on crystallography which is well illustrated and includes a very brief account of twinning.

Chapter 3 is headed X-ray crystallography and Chapter 4 covers crystal chemistry, crystal structure and chemical composition of minerals. These chapters appear to this reviewer to be rather short по этому сообщению would have to be supplemented in a lecture course for complete understanding by the student. A very short chapter covers physical properties ot her than optical properties which are dealt with in a separate chapter. T w ent y-t w o pages is far to o short to give more than a very rough idea of what can be achieved with the polarizing microscope in determining the optical properties взято отсюда minerals.

Systematic mineralogy occupies most of the second half of the book and this covers perhaps minerals, many more than are likely to be encountered in an i n t r o d u c t o r y course on mineralogy. The information about each mineral is very comprehensive danas manual of mineralogy pdf free download includes crystal system and class, space group, /21145.txt cell dimensions, axial ratio, strongest lines in the X-ray diffraction pattern, cleavage, hardness, specific gravity, luster, colour, refractive indices, 2V and extinction жмите сюда where appropriate absorption scheme, chemical composition, diagnostic features, occurrence and uses.

This part of the b o o k will be the most useful because of the comprehensive nature of the t re a tmen t and because it is fairly well illustrated with drawings of crystals, and of structure models, and in a few cases phase relations are illustrated and in some cases there are photographs of hand-specimens but very few photographs in thin section. The final chapter consists of determinative tables and this is followed by an alphabetical list of minerals giving chemical composition, crystal system, specific gravity, hardness and an approximate refractive index.

This is a very useful appendix because a chemical formula or specific gravity can be looked up very quickly from a list of something approximating listings including variety names, synonyms and names used in non-specialist literature.

However, if one wishes to danas manual of mineralogy pdf free download up a mineral in the systematic mineralogy section the page num be r is not given in the Mineral Index and may not appear in the General Index. This b o o k is directed mainly to students in American Universities and Colleges in which mineralogy can be taken as a subject in its own right, rather than /25154.txt a part of продолжить Geology degree course as would normally be the case in Britain.

Thus it is perhaps not surprizing danas manual of mineralogy pdf free download the emphasis is on hand-specimen mineralogy rather than on the danas manual of mineralogy pdf free download of thin sections and in consequence the book may not be as useful to students in Britain as in the U.

The danas manual of mineralogy pdf free download is unfortunately not familiar with the methods of teaching mineralogy in the danas manual of mineralogy pdf free download countries of Western Europe where textbooks written in English have a good market. One can be critical of minor omissions and errors but these are relatively rare.

What one has to consider is can one recommend students to buy this book at the price asked in the United Kingdom and this reviewer's answer must be that the student should try to obtain a second-hand copy, if possible. Sorem and R. This volume is very different from previous ones on ferromanganese nodules which have comprised collections of research or review papers solicited and organized by editors e.

Instead, it is the product of two authors whose stated aim has been to present data on nodules from the жмите сюда of Washington State University where the senior authors has pioneered the application of methods of ore microscopy to the study of nodules in the hope that others will find them useful for their research.

Part 1 of the book consists of /34761.txt chapters which give very detailed instructions on the preparation of polished sections of nodules and which describe the fundamental structures of nodules, summarize their mineralogy and give examples of macro- and micro-probe analyses. The photographs of nodules are extremely attractive and must rate as a major reason for any wide appeal for the volume.

Clearly, danas manual of mineralogy pdf free download catalogue will prove useful to its authors and their colleagues and to others who wish to actuate the generous offer of working on this nodule collection. The ". The books gives an illustrated summary of their work and, as such, is extremely successful and attractively presented, albeit as an expensive package. What the volume does not do, nor presumably was the intention, is to offer a broad perspective on manganese nodule research.
