Petrography to Petrogenesis
This process-oriented book combines optical mineralogy with petrography and petrology. It covers all rock types. It focuses on the study of the behavior of rocks in response to geological processes. In addition to covering common igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks, it also examines weathered, hydrothermally altered, and low-temperature precipitative and deformed rocks. It covers all rock types that relate to the fields of hydrogeology, environmental geology, economic geology, neotectonics, earth science, seismology, and geologic engineering. Incorporates numerous high-quality photographs, including 8 pages of color photos.
Mineralogy
This book on minerals has been assembled by a geologist who has taught elementary mineralogy for several decades. The presentation of mineralogical information in this book builds from atomistic components, thorough geochemical principles, to the formation of crystal structures and crystallization processes in Part 1. This is followed by classical morphological characterization of crystals and then to the physical properties of minerals in Part II. Crystallographic classification of minerals is presented in Part III with emphasis on geologist-friendly visualization. This is succeeded by chapters on the roles that minerals play in rock-forming process in Part IV, that in this book is expanded...

In Search of Motif No. 1
Motif No. 1, a red fish shack, sits at the end of a granite pier in Rockport, Massachusetts.

Vincent examines the shack's colorful history from its origins to the present day to answer the question. His exploration of this symbol of coastal New England, arguably one of the most painted buildings of its time, is a uniquely American story that will both inform and entertain.
