Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Perfect for mountain climbers and hikers, this valuable reference covers more rocks and minerals in North America than any other available guide. 794 full-colour photographs depict all the important rocks, gems, and minerals -- in many variations of colour and crystal form -- and the natural environments in which they occur; written descriptions provide information on field marks, similar rocks and minerals, environment, areas of occurrence, and derivation of names. Includes a guide to mineral collecting and a list of rock-forming minerals

As a Library Media Specialist, I receive requests for all sorts of books. This one was a request from an earth science instructor for a book that gave some really good examples of rocks and minerals --in color.

I love the pictures, even though I did notice the pictures and the corresponding text are in different parts of the guide. The small size allows me to take the book with me anywhere.
Rated by buyers -
The National Audubon Field Guides are all great and the clear pictures make rock and mineral identification much easier.

We are avid rockhounds and have been looking for a book to help identify some of what we find. This book had great photos and descriptions. I HIGHLY recommend it to everyone.

I was really excited to buy this book, but it wasn't as great as I was expecting. The pictures are deceiving to me. I can't really use this book to identify rocks in my collection.
