Purchase options and add-ons

First published in 1848, authored by J.D. Dana, the Manual of Mineral Science now enters its 23rd edition.  This new edition continues in the footsteps or its predecessors as the standard textbook in Mineralogy/Mineral Science/Earth Materials/Rocks and Minerals courses. 

This new edition contains 22 chapters, instead of 14 as in the prior edition.  This is the result of having packaged coherent subject matter into smaller, more easily accessible units.  Each chapter has a new and expanded introductory statement, which gives the user a quick overview of what is to come.  Just before these introductions, each chapter features a new illustration that highlights some aspect of the subject in that particular chapter.  All such changes make the text more readable, user-friendly and searchable.  Many of the first 14 chapters are reasonably independent of each other, allowing for great flexibility in an instructor's preferred subject sequence.  The majority of illustrations in this edition were re-rendered and/or redesigned and many new photographs, mainly of mineral specimens, were added.

NEW Thoroughly Revised Lab Manual       ISBN13: 978-0-471-77277-4

Also published by John Wiley & Sons, the thoroughly updated Laboratory Manual: Minerals and Rocks: Exercises in Crystal and Mineral Chemistry, Crystallography, X-ray Powder Diffraction, Mineral and Rock Identification, and Ore Mineralogy, 3e, is for use in the mineralogy laboratory and covers the subject matter in the same sequence as the Manual of Mineral Science, 23e.

Product description

From the Publisher

Dr. Cornelius Klein is the noted academic mineralogist who co-authored, and later took on the monumental task of updating, Dana's original Manual of Mineralogy.

James D. Dana (1813 - 1895) graduated from Yale University in 1833. He joined a U.S. exploring expedition to the South Seas (1838 - 42), acting as a geologist and zoologist. His contributions to the American Journal of Science stimulated U.S. geologic inquiry. His research into the formation of the Earth's continents and oceans led him to believe in the progressive evolution of the Earth's physical features over time. By the end of his life he also came to accept the evolution of living things, as articulated by Charles Darwin. During his lifetime, and largely under his leadership, U.S. geology grew from a collection and classification of unrelated facts into a mature science.

Reviewed in the United States on 28 February 2010

I like reading this Manual of Mineralogy (Mineral Science 23rd edition.) It is easy reading for a scientist. It has some color pages of minerals; but most of the book is black and white prints of minerals. There is a lot of interesting material to read in this book. I have had an earlier edition too which I don't have with me now; so I ordered this 23rd edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference
Reviewed in the United States on 19 October 2013

Very well structured book with plenty of background information and a great index for referencing what you need, and often several different references (individual entry, entries in various tables easy to make comparisons).

Reading the general stuff at the beginning can be a little dry at times, but very few textbooks aren't like that.
