Diffusion in Minerals and Melts
Volume 72 of Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry represents an extensive compilation of the material presented by the invited speakers at a short course on Diffusion in Minerals and Melts held prior (December 11-12, 2010) to the Annual fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco, California. The short course was held at the Napa Valley Marriott Hotel and Spa in Napa, California and was sponsored by the Mineralogical Society of America and the Geochemical Society.
Zircon
Volume 53 of Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry covers the most important aspects of zircon-related research over the past twenty-years and highlight possible future research avenues. The chapters review the structure of zircon and other mineral (and synthetic) phases with the zircon structure; the minor and trace element compositions of igneous, metamorphic and hydrothermal zircons; the study of melt inclusions in zircon; experimental and natural studies of zircon saturation and the use of zircon saturation thermometry for natural rocks; cation diffusion and oxygen diffusion in zircon; the historical development of zircon geochronology from the mid-1950s to the present; ID-TIMS, SIMS and ICP-MS; the application of zircon chronology in constraining sediment provenance and the calibration ofthe geologic time-scale; other isotopic systematics; the spectroscopy of zircon, both crystalline and metamict and an atlas of internal textures of zircon.
Encyclopedia of Materials Characterization
"This is a comprehensive volume on analytical techniques used in materials science for the characterization of surfaces, interfaces and thin films. This flagship volume is a unique, stand-alone reference for materials science practitioners, process engineers, students and anyone with a need to know about the capabilities available in materials analysis. An encyclopedia of 50 concise articles, this book will also be a practical companion to the forthcoming books in the series."--Knovel.

Minimal Rationality
In Minimal Rationality, Christopher Cherniak boldly challenges the myth of Man the the Rational Animal and the central role that the "perfectly rational agent" has had in philosophy, psychology, and other cognitive sciences, as well as in economics. His book presents a more realistic theory based on the limits to rationality which can play a similar generative role in the human sciences, and it seeks to determine the minimal rationality an actual agent must possess.
Carbon in Earth's Interior
Carbon in Earth's fluid envelopes - the atmosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere, plays a fundamental role in our planet's climate system and a central role in biology, the environment, and the economy of earth system. The source and original quantity of carbon in our planet is uncertain, as are the identities and relative importance of early chemical processes associated with planetary differentiation. Numerous lines of evidence point to the early and continuing exchange of substantial carbon between Earth's surface and its interior, including diamonds, carbon-rich mantle-derived magmas, carbonate rocks in subduction zones and springs carrying deeply sourced carbon-bearing gases. Thus, there ...
