All existing introductory reviews of mineralogy are written accord
ing to the same algorithm, sometimes called the "Dana System of
Mineralogy." Even modern advanced handbooks, which are cer tainly
necessary, include basic data on minerals and are essentially
descriptive. When basic information on the chemistry, structure,
optical and physical properties, distinguished features and para
genesis of 200-400 minerals is presented, then there is practically
no further space available to include new ideas and concepts based
on recent mineral studies. A possible solution to this dilemma
would be to present a book beginning where introductory textbooks
end for those already famil iar with the elementary concepts. Such
a volume would be tailored to specialists in all fields of science
and industry, interested in the most recent results in mineralogy.
This approach may be called Advanced Mineralogy. Here, an attempt
has been made to survey the current possibilities and aims in
mineral mater investigations, including the main characteristics of
all the methods, the most important problems and topics of
mineralogy, and related studies. The individual volumes are
composed of short, condensed chap ters. Each chapter presents in a
complete, albeit condensed, form specific problems, methods,
theories, and directions of investigations, and estimates their
importance and strategic position in science and industry."
