Optically Anomalous Crystals begins with an historical introduction
covering the contributions of Brewster, Biot, Mallard, Brauns,
Tamman, and many other distinguished crystallographers. From this
follows a tutorial in crystal optics. Further chapters discuss the
two main mechanisms of optical dissymmetry: the piezo-optic effect,
and the kinetic ordering of atoms. The text then tackles complex,
inhomogeneous crystals, and the complex optical properties
resulting from the superposition of anomalies having various
etiologies. The book treats the literature comprehensively, but
uses illustrations from the authors' laboratories as the subjects
of detailed analyses. This is an invaluable text for
crystallographers, mineralogists, and petrologists interested in
the growth of minerals and synthetic crystals, and their optical
properties. It is also ideally suited to students of optical
mineralogy, professional scientists and engineers and historians of
science.
