Mineralogy - Significance and Applications includes new contributions to the field of mineralogy in terms of mineral chemistry and petrogenesis using updated facilities from regions in Asia and Europe to interpret petrologic significance. It discusses the industrial uses of some minerals as raw materials and in electrical firms and gemology. The book also introduces several works on synthesis of some compounds and applications of mineralogy in biomedicine, including iron oxide nanoparticles and nannocomposites, and their biomedical applications as diagnostic and drug delivery tools for treatment of cancer and many other diseases.

The second half of the past century witnessed a remarkable paradigm shift in approach to the understanding of igneous rocks. Global literature records a change from a classical petrographic approach to emphasis on mineral chemistry, trace element characteristics, tectonic setting, phase relations, and theoretical simulation of magma generation and evolution processes. This book contains contributions by international experts in different fields of igneous petrology and presents an overview of recent developments. This book is dedicated to the late Dr Mihir K. Bose, former professor of the Department of Geology, Presidency College, Calcutta, India, who actively participated in the development of this new global view of igneous petrology.
