Book Highlights from Springer

Dear reader,This catalog will help you to find the best Springer books at the end of the year. There is no overlap with the previous quarter’s Preview catalogs. The July-October catalog and the November-December catalog taken together give you a premier listing for any event.

The titles presented here are the highlights of November and December. The best references for libraries, the most important monographs for researchers and the most interesting reads for any specialist in the field are listed. They represent the top sellers amongst the 400+ titles published every month by Springer.

Given the quick pace of electronic production today, some of our books get announced just after a print catalog has been issued. These are the “Fast Track” titles and you will find them listed in the very first pages here since they missed the last catalog. Please take a close look at these brand new titles and include them in your own selections.

With best wishes,

Sandra CortésTrade Marketing Manager

Applied MineralogyApplications in Industry and Environment

This book covers the entire spectrum of minera-logy and consolidates its applications in diffe-rent fields. Part I starts with the very basic concept of mineralogy describing in detail the implica-tions of the various aspects of mineral chemistry, crystallographic structures and their effects producing different mineral properties. Part II of the book describes different aspects of mineralogy like geothermobarometry, mineral thermodyna-mics and phase diagrams, mineral exploration and analysis, and marine minerals. Finally Part III handles the applications in industrial, medicinal and environmental mineralogy along with pre-cious and semiprecious stone studies.
