Public ISBD Titre : Introduction to mineralogy Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : William D. Nesse, Auteur Editeur : Oxford : Oxford university press Année de publication : 2009 Importance : XIII, 438 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 28 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-539114-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Minéralogie Mineralogy Index. décimale : 549 Minéralogie. Étude particulière des minéraux Résumé : Introduction to Mineralogy consolidates much of the material now covered in traditional mineralogy and optical mineralogy courses and focuses on describing minerals within their geologic context. It presents the important traditional content of mineralogy including crystallography, chemical bonding, controls on mineral structure, mineral stability, and crystal growth to provide a foundation that enables students to understand the nature and occurence of materials. Physical, optical, and X-ray powder difraction techniques of mineral study are described in detail, and common chemical analytical methods are outlined as well. Detailed descriptions of over 100 common minerals are provided, and the geological context within which these minerals occur is emphasized. Appendices provide tables and diagrams to help students with mineral identification, using both physical and optical properties. Numerous line drawings, photographs, and photomicrographs help make complex concepts understandable. Introduction to Mineralogy not only provides specific knowledge about minerals but also helps students develop the intellectual tools essential for a solid, scientific education. This comprehensive text is useful for undergraduate students in a wide range of mineralogy courses. Note de contenu : In summary : 1. Crystallography and crystal chemistry. 2. Mineral properties, study, and identification. 3. Mineral descriptions. Introduction to mineralogy [texte imprimé] / William D.
