The preparation of a volume on this topic was undertaken with some
hesitancy on my part because the ramifications of the mineralogy of
apatite involve both bio logical and physical sciences in very
elaborate ways. This hesitancy may have arisen in part from the
realization that considerable skill would be required in order to
extract the meaning from the thousands of papers that have appeared
within the past twenty years; the task of attempting to extract and
assemble the usable information seemed gigantic. Greatly adding to
the difficulty was the fact that a considerable portion of these
journal articles contain nothing of value and further confuse a
most complex topic. Nevertheless, it was thought that some of my
formal education in the bio logical sciences, which has been
greatly extended and augmented during the past fifteen years, might
be integrated with my more extensive education and experience in
chemistry, crystallography, mineralogy, geology and physics in
order to pro duce something that would relate to the mineral
apatite and its extremely diverse occurences in nature. At the same
time it seemed essential to point out some of the many important
aspects in which this knowledge bears on geology, agriculture,
chemical engineering, medicine and dentistry."
