Product Description: This text-specific CD-ROM, created by Donna Davidson-Symonds of College of the Canyons, will help clarify and reinforce specific concepts addressed in the text with the use of film clips (one per chapter), a corresponding commentary for each film clip, and a quiz for students to take to test their understanding of the material...read more

Product Description: Minerals in sedimentary rocks emit characteristic visible luminescence called cathodoluminescence (CL) when bombarded by high energy electrons. CL emissions can be displayed as colour images in a cathodoluminescence microscope or as high-resolution monochromatic images in a scanning electron microscope...read more

Product Description: This textbook outlines the physical, chemical, and biologic properties of the major sedimentary rocks, as revealed by petrographic microscopy, geochemical techniques, and field study. It covers the mineralogy, chemistry, textures, and sedimentary structures that characterise sedimentary rocks, and relates these features to the depositional origin of the rocks and their subsequent alteration by diagenetic processes during burial...read more
