Microscopy is a servant of all the sciences, and the microscopic examina­ tion of minerals is an important technique which should be mastered by all students of geology early in their careers. Advanced modern text­ books on both optics and mineralogy are available, and our intention is not that this new textbook should replace these but that it should serve as an introductory text or a first stepping-stone to the study of optical mineralogy. The present text has been written with full awareness that it will probably be used as a laboratory handbook, serving as a quick reference to the properties of minerals, but nevertheless care has been taken to present a systematic explanation of the use of the microscope as well as theoretical aspects of optical mineralogy. The book is therefore suitable for the novice either studying as an individual or participating in classwork. Both transmitted-light microscopy and reflected-light microscopy are dealt with, the former involving examination of transparent minerals in thin section and the latter involving examination of opaque minerals in polished section. Reflected-light microscopy is increasing in importance in undergraduate courses on ore mineralisation, but the main reason for combining the two aspects of microscopy is that it is no longer acceptable to neglect opaque minerals in the systematic petrographic study of rocks. Dual purpose microscopes incorporating transmitted- and reflected-light modes are readily available, and these are ideal for the study of polished thin sections.

Andrea McNair is an incredibly beautiful, self-confident, single woman living a wonderful life in Minnesota. She enjoys a highly successful and influential career with a Fortune 500 company until her identity suddenly comes into question.     Andrea isn't quite sure how her personal information ended up in the hands of an unscrupulous identity thief. Was her personal data compromised by a cyber-criminal after she swiped credit cards or logged into a website? Did someone clone her credit card information or steal statements from her mail? She only knows that she is being victimized by an unknown identity thief who is destroying her strong credit rating, running up charges, opening utility accounts, and making her life a living hell. Andrea wonders if the financial and emotional roller-coaster ride trussed on her by her impostor will ever end.    Quinton, a handsome plastic surgeon and Sterling, a bank executive Andrea trusts to restore her credibility, both vie for her love. Wined, dined and wooed by Quinton and Sterling, she finds herself physically and emotionally drawn to both men.     Best friend and sidekick Michelle has known Andrea since they attended college together. She helps Andrea get through stressful times by providing compassion as well as social distractions. From romantic relationships to career moves, these two BFFs who have so much in common always keep it one hundred.    Terry, Andrea’s personal hair stylist and good friend gives her a shoulder to cry on as well as the best hairstyles any woman could ask for. Andrea finds relief from her problems by being a source of encouragement to Terry as he starts his hair product enterprise.    Will the perpetrator face consequences for the havoc he or she instigated and will Andrea McNair’s good name be restored?    Book club questions and discussion topics are included.
