Tourmaline: A Monograph (Hardcover)

by Friedrich Benesch

Fundamentals of Crystallography (International Union of Crystallography

Book Series, No. 2) (Paperback)

by Monaco H.L, D. Viterbo, F. Scordari

In recent years, crystallographic techniques have found application in a wide range of subjects, and these

applications in turn have lead to exciting developments in the field of crystallography itself. This new textbook

offers an introduction to these developments, and for the first time provides, in a single volume, a compre-

hensive and accessible overview of modern crystallography. The text offers a rigorous treatment of theory

and describes experimental applications in many fields. These are covered in chapters on crystal structure and methods of its

determination, symmetry, crystallographic computing, X-ray diffraction, protein crystallography, and crystal physics.

A Color Atlas of Rocks and Minerals in Thin Section (Paperback)

by W. S. MacKenzie, A. E. Adams

A Color Atlas of Rocks and Minerals in Thin Section is a clear and accessible introduction to the use

of thin sections in the study of Petrography—the scientific description of rocks. Illustrated with a wealth

of full color thin section photographs the book explains how to observe mineral and rock samples under

the microscope. It covers all covers all rock types—igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic—with equal

emphasis and authority, providing the student with an excellent overview of the subject. Each photograph,

specially produced for the book, has been chosen to instruct the beginner and offer valuable resource material to the teacher and

lecturer of geology. As well as being a useful teaching and learning tool, the atlas is a concise reference and review of rock and

mineral identification.

Astromineralogy (Lecture Notes in Physics) (Hardcover)

by Thomas K. Henning (Editor)

Astromineralogy deals with the science of gathering mineralogical information from the astronomical

spectroscopy of asteroids, comets and dust in the circumstellar environments in general. It is only recently,

however, that this field has received a tremendous boost with the reliable identification of minerals by the

Infrared Space Observatory. This book is the first comprehensive and coherent account of this exciting field.

Beyond addressing the specialist in the field, the book is intended as a high-level but readable introduction to

astromineralogy for both the nonspecialist researcher and the advanced student.
