Volume 23 of Reviews in Mineralogy and accompanying MSA short course covers chemical reactions that take place at mineral-water interfaces. We believe that this book describes most of the important concepts and contributions that have driven mineral-water interface geochemistry to its present state. We begin in Chapter 1 with examples of the global importance of mineral-water interface reactions and a brief review of the contents of the entire book. Thereafter, we have divided the book into four sections, including atomistic approaches (Chapters 2- 3), adsorption (Chapters 4-8), precipitation and dissolution (Chapters 9-11), and oxidation-reduction reactions (Chapters 11-14).

Le mathématicien André Weil rappelle dans son œuvre que certaines surfaces mathématiques connues en géométrie algébrique, les surfaces K3, ont été ainsi nommées d'après trois mathématiciens (Kummer, Kähler et Kodaira) et une montagne du Pakistan, le K2. L'auteur du présent ouvrage a pris le prétexte de ce rapprochement pour réfléchir sur les mathématiques et la montagne, les variétés de Calabi-Yau, la théorie des cordes, la géométrie tropicale ou la recherche opérationnelle, domaines auxquels il introduit le lecteur sans qu'il s'en aperçoive ou presque. Au fil de ce voyage au Karakoram (l'un des plus grands massifs montagneux de la planète avec l'Himalaya et ses glaciers), il en vient à s'interroger sur ce noble projet occidental, naguère encore défendu par Nietzsche ou par Daumal, mais auquel on a visiblement renoncé - qui consistait à chercher à s'élever : dans la pensée comme dans la vie. Avec les forces fondamentales de la nature et la variabilité astronomique du climat, le cas du K2, montagne-limite et à peine accessible, est alors emblématique de ce qui échappe ou nous dépasse, dans la grande inversion de valeurs qui caractérise l'époque actuelle.

A general introduction to surface and interfacial forces, perfectly combining theoretical concepts, experimental techniques and practical applications.In this completely updated edition all the chapters have been thoroughly revised and extended to cover new developments and approaches with around 15% new content. A large part of the book is devoted to surface forces between solid surfaces in liquid media, and while a basic knowledge of colloid and interface science is helpful, it is not essential since all important concepts are explained and the theoretical concepts can be understood with an intermediate knowledge of mathematics. A number of exercises with solutions and the end-of-chapter summaries of the most important equations, facts and phenomena serve as additional tools to strengthen the acquired knowledge and allow for self-study.The result is a readily accessible text that helps to foster an understanding of the intricacies of this highly relevant topic.

A comprehensive introduction to the fundamental aspects of surface chirality, covering both chemical and physical consequencesWritten by a leading expert in the field, Chirality at Solid Surfaces offers an introduction to the concept of chirality at surfaces, starting from the foundation of chirality in isolated molecules and bulk systems. Fundamental properties such as surface energy and surface stress are then linked to a universal systematization of surface structure and symmetry. The author includes key examples of surface chemistry and physics, such as the interplay between adsorbate and substrate chirality, amplification of chirality, chiral catalysis, and the influence of surface chirality upon optical and magnetic phenomena. The book also explores the chirality apparent in the electronic structure of graphene, topological insulators and half-metallic materials.
