Field book of common rocks and minerals
Frederic Brewster Loomis and Walter Everett Corbin
Every roadside cut and gravel bank holds specimens worth pocketing. Loomis teaches how and where to collect rocks and minerals, how to read their forms and properties, and how to identify the common stones underfoot. A practical guide to slip in the field bag. Learn the rocks and minerals you pass by every day.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
