Preso per un esame universitario molto specifico, è però un libro molto bello e dalla composizione attraente. Riporta tutte le notizie essenziali e al tempo stesso ha delle bellissime immagini. Consigliabilissimo!

I'm a retired field geologist, with broad grad-school exposure to the earth sciences. Along the way, I was reference staff in a respected university's advanced research earth sciences library. I've seen several highly-regarded, public and private rock and mineral collections. I've seen many minerals in-situ, in their native rock environment. I have considerable optical mineralogy and petrographic experience. However, I'm not a rock hound, nor a rock or gem collector. I appreciated that a mineral specimen or crystal was at home when I encountered in nature, so I typically took only photos and left well enough alone.

I wasn't super-sold by the sample photos for the book's product page, so I played it safe and purchased the paperback edition, new, at what turns out to be really good price. However, if I had been able to encounter this book in a bookstore--in hardback, I would've paid at least $60 and felt very smug about a good...
