The best rock and mineral book by a mile
Pocket guides are okay but for me one day becoming mineralogist, Rocks and Minerals is the most comprehensive, The main reasons for this is the amount of pages dedicated to a wide range of minerals where most pocket guides fall short. There is also a an excellent section on rocks which will prove a mighty tool for identification.

良い本ではあるが・・・・。
石、ミネラルのフィールドガイドである。情報量はかなりあるのだが、何といっても読みづらい。辞が細かく、また英語が分かりくい。内容的にはそれほど悪くはないのだが・・・・・残念である。英語に自信の無い方には、あまりお勧めできない。また、解説が複雑なため、フィールドに実際に持って出るのには向かないだろう。写真の質は極端に悪いわけではないが、それほど良くも無い。
