An Introduction to
the Rock-Forming
Minerals, 3rd edition
By W.A. Deer, R.A. Howie
and J. Zussman
In this edition, most of the
commonly occurring minerals
of igneous, metamorphic
and sedimentary rocks
are discussed in terms of
structure, chemistry, optical
and other physical properties,
distinguishing features and
paragenesis. Impor¬tant
correlations between these
aspects of mineralogy
are emphasized wherever
possible. The content of each
section has been updated
where needed in the light of
published research over the 21
years between editions.
Mineralogy 13
Environmental
Mineralogy II
Edited by D.J. Vaughan
and R.A. Wogelius
The objectives for this volume
are to help to define the
subject of environmental
mineralogy, and to provide an
initial source of information
both for mineralogists and
other scientists who wish to
understand or work in this
field. It may also provide a
text for use by those teaching
courses in the subject at
advanced undergraduate or
graduate student level.
Mineralogy 12
Raman Spectroscopy
applied to Earth
Sciences and Cultural
Heritage
Edited by J. Dubessy,
M.-C. Caumon and F. Rull
Poor levels of education in
terms of Raman spectroscopy
in undergraduate courses
in Earth Sciences make it
difficult for individuals to
obtain information of the
highest quality relevant to
Earth sciences and Cultural
Heritage. To address this
problem, the present volume
contains chapters arising
out of lectures given at a
European Mineralogical Union
‘school’ which was held at the
Université de Lorraine (Nancy,
France) from 14–16 June 2012.

of vibrational spectroscopy
to the characterization of
phyllosilicates, image analysis

Nanoscopic
Approaches in Earth
and Planetary Sciences
Edited by F E Brenker and
G Jordan
The properties of matter at
extreme length scales and
the respective processes
can markedly differ from the
properties and processes
at length scales directly
accessible to human
observation. This scale-
dependent behaviour is
possible in both directions;
towards very large and very
small scales. Scientists
explore the frontiers of these
extreme length scales with
tremendous efforts and try to
gain insight into yet unknown
properties and processes.
