 Dictionary of Geology & Mineralogy September 20, 2008
Robert F. Ritchie (Freeport, Maine)

The is a must for anyone reading geological work. Rarely are words not to be found and in those instances the words have provincial usage. Despite plain English being a powerful means of expression geologists have developed an incredible lexicon of words some of which are unnecessary. Like lawyers and molecular biologists, this is a mechanism for one-upsmanship. Really out of place.
As an informed and enthusiastic student of geology and mineralogy, I find the book an essential crutch.

Good dictionary but more specific definitions. For an earth scientist in the making, I would recommend the Oxford Dictionary of Earth Sciences.

Excellent book, good definitions, but wish it also included pronunciation guide for each word.
 Not in Kindle Dictionary Format February 16, 2010

This dictionary is not in the Kindle Dictionary Format. Looking up words is, therefore, relatively slow and tedious and it can not be your default Kindle dictionary.
