Elsevier's Minerals of the World Chart.
Designed specifically for students and mineral enthusiasts, this chart displays
more than 200 of the world's most common species of mineral in full colour
and supports each specimen entry with more than 15 separate pieces of mineralogical,
crystallographical, chemical and physical data. A section of line drawings
gives a clear explanation of crystal forms. "... the pictures are as
beautiful as they are instructive. In short, the chart, which is highly
recommended, amounts to a mini-course in mineralogy." - Open Earth.

Elsevier's Mineral and Rock Table.
This chart has more than 120 full colour, high quality photographs of rock-forming
and ore minerals in thin section. Each mineral is illustrated with plane-
and cross-polarised views, and accompanied by a description of the most
important optical and physical characteristics. "...intended for laboratories
where students are working with microscopes and endeavouring to master mineralogy
and petrology, it will certainly also be helpful for graduate students and
invaluable in tutorials. For all such users it can be strongly recommended."

Elsevier's Geological Time Table.
The latest edition of the Geological Time Table provides professional and
student earth scientists with a succinct yet comprehensive survey of chronostratigraphic
names. The chart is colourful and attractive, and packed with practical,
up-to-date information. New information includes the expansion of the geomagnetic
data, addition of paleoceanographic reconstructions, addition of major biological
events, addition of major oceanographical events, and the incorporation
of regional classification of China. This chart should find a place in all
geological institutions, universities, museums, schools and companies connected
in any way with the earth sciences. 870 x 1200 mm.
£14-95 paper, £24-95 laminated.
Elsevier's Invertebrate Fossils Chart.
All the major taxa of invertebrates found as macrofossils are represented
in this excellent chart. An introduction to the biology and morphology,
including simple sketches, is included for each group as well as a stratigraphic
range chart. Colour photographs of many, many well preserved specimens when
added to this basic information give the chart tremendous impact. "...
clear, accurate and colourful... will certainly help the student and the
amateur collector to recognise examples of the major groups of invertebrate
fossils." - Nature. 1350 x 950 mm.
