Publisher's Description of National Geographic Pocket Guide to Rocks & Minerals of North America
This basic beginner’s field guide to North American geology helps anyone identify common rocks, minerals, gems, fossils, and land formations. In a logical, user-friendly, highly visual format, this new title–one of an expanding collection of National Geographic pocket guides–offers key facts about dozens of rocks and minerals, how to hunt and identify them, where and how to go looking. The book also pictures and explains the fossils most likely to be found and the fundamental land and rock formations in the North American landscape. With 160 entries, formatted with clear language, key identification points, carefully chosen photographs, and expertly drafted illustrations, this guide is the perfect starting point for anyone, young or old, interested in the study of rocks and geology.
Easy to use, pocket guides are jam packed with information and quality illustrations. This will quickly become your family's favorite go-to resource for information. Today, it may seem simpler to "google" the information. Oftentimes, the online resource is overly simplified and easy to skim without really learning the information. Teaching our children to use print resources is valuable to not only retain information but also to give them tools to teach themselves. Each book provides detailed information for novice to advanced learners, and key facts summarized for each topic. Measuring 4 1/2" x 7 1/2", these books slip easily into your backpack or purse for an on-the-go reference. 178 pgs, pb ~ Deanne
