I see lots of optometrist visits in my future []
How does Layhes Field Geology compare to Comptons Geology in the Field? Ive googled Layhe but can only find a few texts from him concerning stratigraphy in Arizona (if its the same Layhe...Robert?)
The 2nd Ed of Holms shouldnt be TOO out of date, as 3rd Ed is the newest that I can find. I will certainly pick this one up...especially if it will be on my doctoral defense.
Manual of mineralogy will probably do me a world of good. I havent taken any comprehensive mineralogy courses yet, but I can tell that this will probably be my weakest area from the basics that I have received.
Lundelius is from UT? When I googled his name it showed him as retired, but still doing research. I wonder if he is still affiliated with the University. I do not see his book online, but maybe I can find it in the library.
As far as Barneys Book of Rocks...is it narrated by THE purple dinosaur??? If its not, Ill be disappointed. []
Thank for the recommended reading! I have a feeling Ill be in cross-referencing hell.
