This book presents the fundamental principles of thermodynamics for geosciences, based on the authorβs own courses over a number of years. Many examples help to understand how mineralogical problems can be solved by applying thermodynamic principles.

The subject of mineralogy has moved away from the systematic treatment of mineral groups toward the study of the behavior of minerals in response to geological processes. It is vital that we understand the physics and chemistry of minerals as this response generally involves structural and chemical
<p><p>This course-derived undergraduate textbook provides a concise explanation of the key concepts and calculations of chemical thermodynamics. Instead of the usual βclassicalβ introduction, this text adopts a straightforward postulatory approach that introduces thermodynamic potentials such as ent
