Book Reviews of National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Rocks and Minerals (National Audubon Society Field Guides)
Book Review: good, but......
Summary: 3 Stars
We purchased this field guide based on other great reviews. Although it it very thorough.....it is thorough about minerals. 2/3 of the book is about minerals. We wanted to know more about ROCKS. If you love minerals, then this is the guide for you. If you are a rock lover....keep looking.Book Review: What you would expect.
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed this book for my science olympiad team. It is exactly what you would expect from the Audubon society. Great colors, good quality, great examples. I ordered many other field guides at the suggestion from other teachers.Book Review: Audubon Field Guides Great Gifts
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased complete sets of Audubon Field Guides to everything for Xmas gifts this year - some given singly, some as sets. Fantastic quality; they were theme-appropriate depending upon to whom they were given and they were received with the most excitement and appreciation of any gift I have given for years. Plus, the prices were far below retail. Thanks for great service and top quality items.Book Review: Great feild guide for quick info

Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very nicely organized book. Great size for a backpack or car - looks nice, too. Organized with about half the pages being color photos of rocks and minerals, the other half being more technical descriptions of the features of the rocks / minerals.
I'm a novice when it comes to the whole field of rock collecting, etc., but, this book makes it easy (organized by color rather than mineral). So, I can look for the color and find my stone.
Had fun just flipping through the book and looking at the pictures with my granddaughter.
I'd certainly recommend this book to anyone that wants to find out what kind of rock they have and to get info about it. Also to anyone who is curious about rocks in general. I believe it would be valuable to a field expert, too - but, not being one - cannot state that for sure.
