Gems and Gemmology (Short Introductions to Cultural Heritage Science)
by Stefanos Karampelas, Lore Kiefert, Danilo Bersani, and Peter Vandenabeele
This book provides a lucid introduction to the basics of gemmology. It familiarizes archaeologists, art historians and conservators with the science of gemstones and allows them to understand the basic concepts of their provenance, typology and treatments.Which are the main types of gems? What treatments can be applied? How does one analyse gems? How can gems contribute to archaeometrical research?This volume is written by four experts in the fields of gemmology and archaeometry and addresses bo...

Theory and Practice of Hydrocarbon Generation within Space-Limited Source Rocks (Springer Geology)
by Defan Guan, Xuhui Xu, Zhiming Li, Lunju Zheng, Caiping Tan, and Yimin Yao
This book analyzes hydrocarbon generation and accumulation within space-limited source rocks. The authors draw conclusions based on the principles of basin formation, hydrocarbon generation and accumulation, coupled with the practice of terrigenous basins in eastern China. Hydrocarbon generation and expulsion have been quantitatively assessed in space-limited source rock systems. This book explores new hydrocarbon generation and expulsion models to reflect real geological situations more accurat...

Mixtures and Mineral Reactions (Minerals, Rocks and Mountains, #19)
by Jibamitra Ganguly and Surendra K Saxena
Considerable progress has been made in our understanding of the physicochemical evolution of natural rocks through systematic analysis of the compositional properties and phase relations of their mineral assemblages. This book brings together concepts of classical thermodynamics, solution models, and atomic ordering and interactions that constitute a major basis of such analysis, with appropiate examples of application to subsolidus petrological problems. This book is written for an audience wit...
Kristallstrukturbestimmung (Studienbucher Chemie) (Teubner Studienbucher Chemie)
by Werner Massa
Wahrend der letzten 20 Jahre hat sich dank der zunehmenden Verbreitung von Vierkreis-Diffraktometern und der enormen Steigerung der Computerlei- stung die Methode der Kristallstrukturbestimmung mittels Roentgenbeugung lawinenartig ausgebreitet. Wegen ihrer hohen Aussagekraft und Genauigkeit ist sie zu einem der wichtigsten Werkzeuge in der chemischen Grundlagenfor- schung geworden, in der anorganischen wie der organischen Chemie. Obwohl die Kristallographie in der Ausbildung der Chemiestudenten...
