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