Rock-forming Minerals in Thin Section
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-...
Mineralogy
This book presents a translation and update of the classic German textbook of Mineralogy and Petrology that has been published for decades. It provides an introduction to mineralogy, petrology, and geochemistry, discussing the principles of mineralogy, including crystallography, chemical bonding, and physical properties, and the genesis of minerals in a didactic and understandable way. Illustrated with numerous figures and tables, it also features several sections dedicated to the genesis of mineral resources. The textbook reflects the authors’ many years of experience and is ideal for use in lectures on mineralogy and petrology.

Die Notizbücher des Mineralogen und Petrographen Friedrich Becke 1855–1931
The notebooks of mineralogist and petrographer Friedrich Johann Karl Becke (1855-1931) give impressive testimony to the scientific practices at the turn of the century. Moreover, they provide a detailed insight into Becke's working style and depict a disciplined and experimentally adventurous scientist who meticulously documented observations of nature and arrived at new and fundamental conclusions from an objective point of view that were way ahead of his time. Until now, his study books have received little attention. For the first time ever, Margret Hamilton extensively examines the records of Friedrich Johann Becke, drawing a detailed panorama of earth sciences around the year 1900.
