Summary: Best Rock and Mineral Book I've EVER Seen!
Comment: I am a retired engineer and life-long mineral collector, and I own or have read dozens of books on the subject. I also volunteer at our local elementary school, and take every opportunity to teach the kids about minerals and let them handle my specimens. This is by far the most interesting presentation of rocks and minerals I have ever ever had the pleasure of reading. Every page is filled with superb photos and/or very realistic 3D color illustrations.
All of the text is broken up into bite-size paragraphs that are easy to digest, yet comprehensive enough that even experienced adults will find something new on each page. The pictures/diagrams and shorter paragraphs should be of much interest to ages 9 and 10, with full enjoyment for ages 11 to 100!
The origin of rocks and minerals, ie., geology, and how rocks and minerals are used in our daily lives, are heavily emphasized, and for me this is what makes learning in this field so fascinating. I will use this book in my teaching for years to come, and many of my friends will receive it as a gift. Thank you Tracy Staedter for a true work of art.
