Second volume of a complete development of the new structural classification of minerals, which is based on the internal crystal structure, and is therefore its natural classification.
Introduction.- Some details of the structural notation.- List of topographical corrections in Vol. 1.- Acknowledgements.- Systematic tables.- Tables of mineral structure types.- Mineral Index.
The great strength of this book lies in the information in the tables. The book is printed on good-quality paper with clear type. Compared to other mineralogical books, the price is reasonable. Earth Science libraries will find a copy useful as a reference text, and the price may be low enough to justify a personal copy.
