Among rock-forming minerals, the colorful tourmaline group is a favorite of both mineral collectors and gemologists. Superb examples are found at many locales worldwide, and in diverse geological settings from pegmatites to schists. Over 120 clear, crisp photos show each mineral in its geological context. This book will help mineral and gem collectors understand tourmaline mineralogy and see how changes in nomenclature reflect our evolving understanding of the group. The text explains the chemistry and taxonomy of the group, the environment in which tourmalines form, provides a detailed entry for each mineral including locality information and full-color photos wherever possible so that collectors can see what good specimens look like and which minerals one might expect to find in association with them. An extensive bibliography is provided for readers who wish to learn more. Every serious mineralogist, gemologist, and rock hound will need this book.

The Bingo Theory was an excellent read. Magnitsky's participation in exposing this corruption lead to his arrest, imprisonment, torture and eventual death.
It also lead to exposing or awakening another side of Browder as a human rights activist.
This story is complex and interesting. Lurie had me in her spell right from the opening chapter where I was struck by her sureness of touch and intuitive understanding of the workings of the human heart. The same is true for the students who study the material - they too become excellent critics.
Highly recommended for teachers and students of all levels in art and design (advanced high school, and all college levels).. Feeling Like It - Has nothing to do with it.
