Rocks and Minerals by Adrian Jones

Rocks and Minerals by Adrian Jones

Covering 240 commonly-found types of rock, mineral and gemstone throughout the world, Wild Guide Rocks and Minerals is the perfect introduction to this popular subject. Each type of rock or mineral is illustrated with a stunning full-colour photograph. Additional artwork may show the crystalline structure or other identification features. There is a description of each rock or mineral type which includes information on distribution, chemical composition, hardness, colour and texture, and an ID Fact File that offers information at a glance. There is also the opportunity to raise the public’s awareness of Special Sites of Scientific Interest (SSSIs), many of which exist to protect endangered species if wildlife, but others are home to unique geological formations and rare rocks and minerals. The ‘Where to see’ and ‘What next?’ sections will contain practical advice and information for those wishing to take their interest further.

Now retired, Dr Reg Bradshaw was for many years a lecturer at Bristol University and also took classes all over the South-west. Together with Dr K.A.G. Mills, Dr Bradshaw translated Collins Photoguide Rocks, Minerals and Gemstones by Dr Walter Schumann.
