About this book

30% discount for members of The Mineralogical Society of Britain and Ireland

This volume addresses the fundamental factors that underlie our understanding of mineral behaviour and crystal chemistry - a timely topic given current advances in research into the complex behaviour of solids and supercomputing.

Reviews

`Overall, this is an excellent volume... The real strength of [it] is that in a single volume it provides a convenient and wide-ranging summary of current developments in mineral energetics, from crystal chemistry to petrological applications. As such, it is to be warmly recommended for all Earth Science libraries.'
