This book introduces the unusual shock-related mineralogical features of the shocked Suizhou L6 (S5) meteorite. A few of the shock-induced melt veins in the meteorite are the simplest, straightest and thinnest ones among all shock-vein-bearing meteorites, and contain the most abundant high-pressure mineral species.

This book focuses not only on the nature and origin of ore deposits but also explores the economic issues that surround the exploitation of mineral resources. Coverage includes demand from developing nations, exploitation and exhaustion of resources and more.

This book sets out the basic materials science needed for understanding the plastic deformation of rocks and minerals.

This book presents the latest findings in the properties and application of Supplementary Cementing Materials and blended cements currently used in concrete around the world, including CO2 reduction and well as durability and sustainability.

This book details more than 3,000 IR spectra of more than 2,000 mineral species collected during last 30 years. It features full descriptions and analytical data of each sample for which IR spectrum was obtained.
