Mineral Resources And Sustainable Development
October 2017, Vol. 13, No. 5
Mineral resources are a vital part of any economy, modern or ancient. Since the birth of civilization, man has used these resources for pigments, metals, glasses, ceramics, cements and much more. The media has recently suggested there is a crisis looming over finding mineral resources, including critical metals. Centered on the sustainability of mineral resources, themes addressed in this issue include customer–supplier relationships, exploration, recycling and the circular economy, and environmental postÂmining impacts. The broad range of topics embraced by this issue – formation of mineral deposits, minerals engineering, and environmental and societal impacts – provides readers a better understanding of the largeÂscale economic, historical and educational aspects of mineral resources.Â

Medical Mineralogy And Geochemistry, December 2007, Vol. 3, No. 6
$20.00Medical mineralogy and geochemistry is an emergent, highly interdisciplinary field concerned with both normal and pathological interactions between minerals or amorphous inorganic solids and biomolecules or cells within the human body, and the transport and fate of prions and protein toxins in the soil environment. Prior research has, appropriately, focused on the complex genetic and molecular biological aspects, but there is a growing recognition of the vital need for understanding the surface and bulk properties and reactivities, especially at the challenging nanoscale characteristic of biomacromolecules and biominerals.

Glasses And Melts: Linking Geochemistry And Materials Science, October 2006, Vol. 2, No. 5
$20.00Geological interest in studying melts stems from early recognition that melts play a fundamental role in determining the physical and chemical behaviour of magmas and magmatic processes. However, due to the inherent difficulties associated with working at high temperatures, much of the geological research over the last 30 years has used quenched melts or glasses as proxies for melts themselves.

Diamonds, March 2005, Vol. 1, No. 2
$20.00Diamond, the fascinating ultrahard mineral, is the focus of considerable interest and scientific research. Recent advances particularly relevant to geoscientists include: diamond as a recorder of Earth processes from the perspective of inclusions, chemistry, and conditions of formation; synthesis for research applications and processing to modify color and physical properties, important to diamond gems and anvils; the implications of nanodiamonds from meteorites.
