Identify the rocks you discover and uncover the stories they hold.

What is that rock you've just picked up? Which minerals is it made of, what's unique about it, and what can it reveal about Earth's deeper story?

This authoritative yet accessible guide includes:

  • Clear explanations of igneous, volcaniclastic, sedimentary, metamorphic, and anthropic rocks.
  • Practical tips for spotting and identifying rocks, including detailed specimen illustrations that highlight key features for easy recognition.
  • Insight into minerals, the rock cycle, and Earth's dynamic history.
