Description:
This highly-acclaimed CD-ROM -- previously only affordable for laboratories and libraries -- is now available for everyone! The Manual of Mineralogy, now in its 21st revised edition, provides the foundation for this interactive, multimedia tutorial CD-ROM. The tutorial consists of four modules: the first three cover concepts, while the fourth addresses systematic mineralogy of approximately 100 of the most common minerals. The CD-ROM features color photographs of over 100 minerals; 3D models and animations that permit users to view crystal symmetries, internal order, and molecular structures; and simulations that illustrate basic principles of crystallography, crystal chemistry, and the systematic mineralogy of common rock-forming minerals. Chemical substitutions allow risers to evaluate solid solution within crystal structure formulas, and hyperlinks link textual terms with graphical representations.
