' Every person on earth uses, either directly or indirectly, ten metric tons of minerals each year.' So write Dr R. V. Dietrich & Dr Brian J. Skinner in their new book Gems, Granites, & Gravels. Minerals & mineral products are involved in all aspects of our lives; we depend on them to keep us alive & ensure the continuity of our society. As a consequence, they have been a source of fascination & study throughout human history. In this book, Drs Dietrich & Skinner consider not only the beauty of minerals & rocks, but also their utility & their roles in our everyday well-being. Gems, Granites & Gravels is a valuable introduction to mineralogy & to related specialities such as petrology (the study of rocks), crystallography (the study of crystals), & soil science. Discoveries in these fields are described in a historical context, while the authors explain what minerals & rocks are, how they are distributed around the world, how we depend on them, & where to see the most beautiful specimens of both minerals & rocks. This book will appeal to anyone interested in natural history & curious about rocks & minerals, including rock & mineral collectors, students of geology, & professional geologists. ...

Ancestry-tracing is fun; it brings history to life & it gives a greater sense of personal identity. Our ancestors become real people; they may have been ordinary, blue-blooded or famous, but whatever they were the search itself is rewarding. Tracing a family history & gradually constructing one`s own unique pedigree is an absorbing hobby, a never-ending detective investigation. This book tells the beginner exactly how to set about it: how to collect information from living relatives, how to make full use of all existing clues & traditions, how & where to find written records & what information they can be expected to provide as well as the likely problems that may be encountered & possible ways to solve them. Many books have been written for the would-be genealogist but none has ever equalled the success or popularity of Arthur Willis`s Genealogy for Beginners. Since it was first published in 1955, this readable little guide has introduced far more ancesty-tracers to the subject than any other. Now it has been completely revised & re-written by Karin Proudfoot, so that it is once more the most up-to-date book on the subject & the best buy for the beginner of today. ...
