Minerals and the Microscope: An Introduction to the Study of Petrology (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Minerals and the Microscope: An Introduction to the Study of Petrology
The object of this book is to help the beginner over his initial difficulties in the study of petrology. Teaching experience extending over some years has convinced me that the difficulties met by the student are far greater than is commonly supposed by those who have forgotten their own early trials, or whose mental equipment was such as to enable them to escape the pitfalls waiting for their less fortunate fellows.
Even a series of lectures by a teacher of un doubted qualifications is not sufficient; the subject matter is so new to most students that very few are able to absorb the facts as rapidly as they are placed before them. It is felt that a good course of lectures and practical work requires amplification by a book whose aim is to smooth over difficulties of this kind.
