Interesting in its own right, and useful as a /Dwarf Fortress/ strategy guide.
Seriously useful reference book for identifying and learning about rocks and minerals. Excellent color photos with detailed information and descriptions. A useful book and educational.

I am always very fascinated by rocks and fossils so this book was very fun to read. I would have it in my classroom as a great resource book or definitely put it in my personal class library in case a student of mine wanted to know more about rocks.

I like that it gives little definitions at the bottom. It goes over the 3 types of rocks and how they are made, as well as topics on lava and magma and different types of crystals. The pictures they use are photographs and properly show the type of fossil or rock being discussed. It's very informal despite the short sentences, and I find that it is perfect for a lesson on geology. It even has little projects at the back where a student could make their own fossils or start a rock collection.… (mer)
