O knihe

This book on Properties, Occurrences and Uses of Minerals and Rocks: A Comparative Illustrative Approach captures commonly encountered major minerals and rocks on quarrying and mining sites. The book addresses interests of the learners at Certificate and Diploma levels in the subject areas of Geology which includes; Mineralogy, Petrology and Structural Geology. The authors have adopted competency and evaluation based approach in presenting the contents. Expected learning outcomes and specific competences for the book were mirrored from similar expectations as contained in the UNESCO¿s ASM Certificate and Diploma Programmes. Concerted efforts were made to draw field realities to the desk or classroom environments. That effort is well enshrined in the comparative illustrations that have been extensively provided in the book. The illustrations capture schematic drawings and field images side by side. The book also provides suitable questions for evaluating the reader and learner on application of the concepts learned to field situations. The textbook is a resourceful material for sustainable research and innovation purposes. What a book for academics and students!
