Books in the Cambridge Topics in Mineral Physics and Chemistry series

With an approach that stresses the fundamental solid state behaviour of minerals, and with emphasis on both theory and experiment, this 1995 text surveys the physics and chemistry of earth materials.

The vibrations of atoms inside crystals - lattice dynamics - is basic to many fields of study in the solid-state and mineral sciences. This book provides a self-contained text that introduces the subject from a basic level and then takes the reader through applications of the theory.

The second edition of this classic book looks at crystal field theory and its applications. Useful as an advanced textbook as well as a reference work.

This textbook describes the fundamental principles of structural phase transitions in materials in an easily understandable form, suitable for both undergraduate and graduate students.

Transmission Electron Microscopy of Minerals and Rocks is an introduction to the principles of the technique and is the only book to date on the subject written specifically for geologists and mineralogists.
