Micas: Crystal Chemistry & Metamorphic Petrology - Paperback
by Annibale Mottana (Editor), Francesco Paolo Sassi (Editor), James B. Thompson (Editor)
Volume 46 of Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry covers the international meeting on "Advances on Micas (Problems, Methods, Applications in Geodynamics)" convened in Rome in 2000. The topics of this meeting were the crystalchemical, petrological, and historical aspects of the micas. Thirteen invited plenary lectures, which consisted mostly of reviews, are presented in expanded detail in this volume.
