Geopedia: A Brief Compendium of Geologic Curiosities

Geopedia is a treasure for rockhounds and linguists both.  With dozens of entries—from Acasta gneiss to Zircon—it is a celebration of the lexicon of geology. Because there are so many minerals, landforms, and geologic events, a similarly vast specialized vocabulary has emerged to describe it all. There are mythological allusions, loan words from around the world, and neologisms aplenty. Geopedia is pocket sized and ready for travel, in addition to having a real cloth cover with a foil stamped crystal and copious amounts of illustrations. It completely rocks.
