Feldspar minerals make up 60% of the crust of the Earth. They are
stable in the upper mantle, and are so abundant in the crust that
they form the basis of the classification of igneous rocks. At the
surface, feldspars weather to form clay minerals which are the most
important mineral constituent of soils. The articles in this book
review the chemical reactions of feldspars over the whole sweep of
pressure and temperature regimes in the outer Earth, and describe
the fundamental aspects of crystal structure which underlie their
properties. The book covers intracrystalline reactions, such as
order-disorder transformations and exsolution, and transfer of
stable and radiogenic isotopes, which can be interpreted to provide
insights into the thermal history of rocks. It is suitable for
final year undergraduates or research workers.
