This book presents a translation and update of the classic German textbook of Mineralogy and Petrology that has been published for decades. It provides an introduction to mineralogy, petrology, and geochemistry, discussing the principles of mineralogy, including crystallography, chemical bonding, and physical properties, and the genesis of minerals in a didactic and understandable way. Illustrated with numerous figures and tables, it also features several sections dedicated to the genesis of mineral resources. The textbook reflects the authors’ many years of experience and is ideal for use in lectures on mineralogy and petrology.

PP xv + 587 with over 500 b&w figures. Gives an up to date description of minerals, their properties, mode of formation and occurrence in nature. Also includes a new systematic classification based on geochemical and crystallochemical principals.

"A fine treatment of this critical time in geology's history. Although it goes against our standard histories of the field, Laudan defends her views convincingly. Her style is direct, with carefully reasoned personal opinions and interpretations clearly defined."—Jere H. Lipps, The Scientist

For students of geology, this book offers a systematic overview of uranium and thorium minerals, which are known for their intense ultraviolet fluorescence and are  critically important as our source of nuclear energy. Learn about the geochemical conditions that produce significant ore deposits and view more than 600 maps, structure diagrams, color photos, and electron micrographs. A web link allows readers to view the more than 130 crystal structures in three dimensions for a richer appreciation of their details. The minerals are arranged to emphasize how they fit into chemical groups, and a thorough description is provided for each mineral. Major occurrences of interest to mineral collectors are arranged geographically, with maps showing the important deposits in uranium-producing countries. With the resurgence of interest in nuclear power, this book will be invaluable to mineral collectors and exploration geologists as well as to nuclear scientists and engineers interested in radioactive deposits.

1984. Burgess Publishing Company., 505 pages. 3 lbs 12 oz. (Large Over-sized 11.25 x 9 x 1.25 inches Hardcover) . Title: MINERALOGY: Concepts and Principles by Tibor Zoltai and James H. Stout. ISBN#0808726064. College Level Textbook

This edition is a major revision of the first edition published in 1959. It is intended primarily to serve as a textbook for a first course in mineralogy. In addition, it should serve as a useful reference for geologists, petrologists, pedologists, solid-state physicists, and others who use crystallography or mineralogy as a keystone for their professional deliberations.

This student-friendly text is written in a casual, jargon-free style to present a modern introduction to mineralogy. It emphasizes real-world applications and the history and human side of mineralogy. The author approaches the subject by explaining the larger, understandable topics first, and then explaining why the “little things” are important for understanding the larger picture.

This learner-oriented text is written in a casual, jargon-free style to present a modern introduction to mineralogy. It emphasizes real-world applications and an “outside-in approach” as well as the history and human side of mineralogy. Chapter topics include elements and minerals; crystallization and classification of minerals; mineral properties: hand specimen mineralogy; optical mineralogy; igneous rocks and silicate minerals; sedimentary minerals and sedimentary rocks; metamorphic minerals and metamorphic rocks; ore deposits and economic minerals; crystal morphology and symmetry; crystallography; units cells, points, lines, and planes; x-ray diffraction; atomic structure; and descriptions of minerals. For individuals interested in the science of mineralogy, and how minerals impact everyday life.

Recent years have seen the publication of a great many articles, both in the Soviet Union and elsewhere, reporting the results of research into the crystallomorphology, chemical composition and various properties of diamond crystals. By now, therefore, there has accumulated a tremendous amount of factual material, provided by specialists in different fields of science and technology employing up-to-date methods of investigation. However, this material is highly fragmentary, making it difficult to obtain an idea of the detail to which diamond crystals have been studied. There is thus an urgent need for a special mineralogical text on diamonds to summarize the available material and ascertain the degree to which various problems have been studied. The present author has been involved in research on diamond crystals for many years. He has studied large numbers of diamonds from various deposits, including some non-Soviet mines. The material collected over the years, combined with analysis and summary of the host of data in the literature, has enabled the author to write this book. The main topics treated therein are the varieties of diamond crystals and polycrystalline aggregates, the structure of diamond, its chemical composition, imperfections in the structure of real crystals, crystallomorphology, properties, genetic types of diamond deposit, paragenesis, conditions and methods for synthesis of diamonds. Data from mineralogical investigations of diamond provide one of the most important foundations for any theory of genesis of natural diamonds. The extant theories are many and contradictory and there is no real agreement between different workers. Our own data have enabled us to analyze the plausibility of the theories and to consider the genesis of diamond in the concluding chapter of the book.
