 | | This book is valuable indeed for emphasizing localities to the extent that it does. |
 | | For example, a chapter/table at the end entitled "The Richest Type Localities of the World" tells the reader exactly how many species have been discovered at Tsumeb, LÄngban, Franklin/Sterling Hill, Lovozero, Laurium, Freiberg, Crestmore, Bisbee, Vesuvius, Mont St.-Hilaire, etc., etc., and to what geological and geochemical type each of these famous deposits belongs. |
 | | An additional virtue is that there are hundreds of color photographs to enliven the book's central body, which consists of an encyclopedia-style, alphabetical presentation of all the species. |
