| "Pegmatology - Pegmatite Mineralogy, Petrology and Petrogenesis" Introducing the first textbook ever written about Pegmatites -  For the very first time in geological literary history, there is now a book devoted to the study of pegmatites, a volume sorely needed for centuries. Our faculty has spent two years developing this book as a reference tool for the Maine Pegmatite Workshop. This book and the information it contains is written at the mid-level "student" of pegmatites. The authors have written this as a guide for further study and/or research on the part of the reader, with the hopes that the reader's questions can be answered. As a registrant of the Workshop, you will receive a copy of this book upon registration. It is a spiral bound volume, faciltating ease of use. For anyone who can't attend this Workshop, you can purchase this book by following this link to Rubellite Press. From The Authors: This book was initially written for the Maine Pegmatite Workshop, held in Poland, Maine. After our first Workshop in 2002, we realized the need for a book on pegmatites, to serve as a reference tool on this topic for the Workshop. Since there has never been a book of any type available on this subject matter, we went through two trials before we completed this volume. We hope that this book will meet the needs of anyone interested in learning more about pegmatites. It is not written for the professional mineralogist or petrologist, but it does contain a sufficiently comprehensive coverage of the topic which is perfect for the life student, pegmatite miners, college students and even a beginning post-graduate student. The serious reader can develop a thorough understanding of pegmatite structure, mineralogy and genesis. |
