First published in 1848, authored by J.D. Dana, the Manual of
Mineral Science now enters its 23rd edition. This new

standard textbook in Mineralogy/Mineral Science/Earth
Materials/Rocks and Minerals courses.
Mineral Science now enters its 23rd edition. This new
edition continues in the footsteps or its predecessors as the
standard textbook in Mineralogy/Mineral Science/Earth
Materials/Rocks and Minerals courses.
This new edition contains 22 chapters, instead of 14 as in the
prior edition. This is the result of having packaged coherent
subject matter into smaller, more easily accessible units.
Each chapter has a new and expanded introductory statement, which
gives the user a quick overview of what is to come. Just
before these introductions, each chapter features a new
illustration that highlights some aspect of the subject in that
particular chapter. All such changes make the text more
readable, user-friendly and searchable. Many of the first 14
chapters are reasonably independent of each other, allowing for
great flexibility in an instructor's preferred subject
sequence. The majority of illustrations in this edition were
re-rendered and/or redesigned and many new photographs, mainly of
mineral specimens, were added.
