Product Review
"will be a valuable teaching resource. It brings mineralogy up to date and discards the obsolete baggage occasionally associated with the subject." S.A.T. Redfern,
geology Magazine
"so good that anyone from a science sixth-former to a graduate student can have, at moderate cost, a well-illustrated and up-to-date text on how minerals work, all presented with the greatest lucidity." Times Higher Education Supplement
"provides an great example of how important developments in one field can spill over to make a major impact on another discipline.would serve very well as a text for senior undergraduates and beginning graduate students in a course on crystal growth and mineral kineticsa must for those interested in geological sciences and new ways of understanding earth processes." Robert R. Reeber, American Scientist
