Identificationof rock-forming minerals in thin section is a key skill needed by all earth science students and practising geologists. This translation of the completely revised and updated German second edition (by Leonore Hoke, Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences, New Zealand) provides a comprehensive guide to identifying 140 of the most important rock-forming mineral species. The book is divided into three main parts. Part A is a practical guide to the fundamentals of crystal optics, polarization microscopy and the practical use of microscopes. Part B gives a detailed description of the characteristic optical features, special features, and the paragenesis of the most common rock-forming minerals. This well-illustrated part is divided into opaque minerals, isotropic, uniaxial and optical biaxial mineral groups. Part C contains identification tables for the minerals and diagrams showing the international classification of magmatic rocks, as well as a colour plate section showing crystal forms of minerals. The book will provide an invaluable guide to all undergraduate earth scientists, as well as to professional geologists requiring an overview of mineral identification in thin section.

Excerpt from A Key for the Determination of Rock-Forming Minerals in Thin Sections Tables for the determination of minerals have heretofore been made of secondary importance in text books. In this volume the reverse method has been adopted and the de scriptive tables make up the greater portion of the book. Theoretical discussions in optics have been avoided so far as possible, and only enough has been given to make clear that which is necessary for the practical determination of the minerals. The material has been condensed as much as is consistent with clearness, and all of the descriptions are given in as concise a form as possible. Owing to the difficulty of having the pages of the index indented by machinery, it was found necessary to extend the leaves to the full width of the book, and to indicate the lines along which the student should cut the pages. After trim ming along the lines shown, it will be found convenient to form another index guide by cutting off about one-half inch from the upper right hand corners of the pages descriptive of negative minerals.
