C. Jones and B. Jackson</h2> R. F. Bryan Infrared transmission spectra of car- bonate minerals. By G. C. Jones and B. Jackson. Pp. xv + 222. London: Chapman & Hall, 1993. Price £75.00. ISBN 0-412-54650-7. The stated pur- pose of this compilation is 'to make available recently acquired spectra of as many well-characterized carbonate minerals as possible in order to further the use of infrared spectroscopy in min- eralogy.' Fourier-transform IR spectra and relevant physical and chemical data are presented on facing pages for over 100 minerals arranged in alphabetical order. In a few cases, expanded spectra are provided on an additional page. Cross references are provided, where available, for specimens that have been examined by X-ray powder diffraction. }
