First Field Guide to Rocks & Minerals, the latest addition

to the popular Struik Nature series, introduces the most

important and interesting rocks and minerals from our

geologically exciting region.

The guide details 30 minerals and 18 major rock types,

focusing on those that are best known or most commonly

found. A short introduction provides an overview of the topic;

colourful photographs throughout, both of the rocks and

minerals and of the particular terrain in which they are found,

complement the clear text and aid identification in the field.

First Field Guide to Rocks & Minerals is a useful resource

for the beginner geologist, curious novice, or anyone with a

budding interest in southern Africa's unique geological heritage.
