 BurnMan is an open source mineral physics toolbox written in Python which
-determines seismic velocities for the lower mantle. BurnMan calculates the
+determines seismic velocities of mineral assemblages. BurnMan calculates the
 isotropic thermoelastic moduli by solving the equations-of-state for a
-mixture of minerals defined by the user. The user may select from a list of
-minerals applicable to the lower mantle included or easily define one of
-their own.
+mixture of minerals defined by the user. The user may select from an extensive 
+list of minerals obtained from published databases. Alternatively, they can 
+easily define their own minerals.
 
 Features:
 
+  - a range of thermoelastic models, choice between second or third order accuracy
+  - a range of thermodynamic models for mineral endmembers
+  - consistent, comprehensive treatment of minerals with solid solutions
   - form composites of arbitrary combination of :doc:`minerals`
   - extensive :doc:`mineral_database`
   - easy plotting and comparison of seismic profiles using matplotlib
   - many examples highlighting different features of BurnMan
-  - different thermoelastic models, choice between second or third order accuracy
+  - 
   - different averaging schemes
   - different geotherms
   - extensible: all parts can be replaced by user-written modules if desired
