Astromineralogy deals with the science of gathering mineralogical information from the astronomical spectroscopy of asteroids, comets and dust in the circumstellar environments in general. This field has received a tremendous boost with the reliable identification of minerals by the Infrared Space Observatory. The first edition of this book, published in 2003, was the first comprehensive and coherent account of this exciting field. Data obtained in the meantime with the Spitzer Infrared Space Telescope, the stardust mission to the comet 81P / Wild 2, and with the Cassini mission, together with progress in ground-based observations and laboratory astrophysics form the basis for this updated and widely extended second edition.Beyond addressing the specialist in the field, the book is intended as a high-level but readable introduction to astromineralogy for both the nonspecialist researcher and the advanced student.
A wealth of information is presented in this guide in a variety of formats, including a concise narrative history, a chronology and A to Z entries, to provide readers with a greater understanding of German history, from the Renaissance to the present day.

The Great Sentient Cities. Unmatched in intellect. . . Unparalleled in size. . . Unsure. On the planet of the Sentient Cities, City of Mann is by all accounts an ordinary city. Leaving his home for Epicurea where he gets his first job as an intern at CitiCorp, life as a grown up City could not be any better. But as the questions of existence begin to take their toll, his Ruler, Politicians, and often silly Citizens within the walls of his facade are pushed to the brink. In a gentle little tale of epic proportions, leave the constraints of time and space far behind as you traverse the enchanting realm of Citykind—where every moment is a tapestry of fun, sadness, and the inexplicably odd. And as he grapples with the whimsical and the poignant, philosophy and faith, join Mann as he questions it all and is shown the purpose of the wonderfully strange place. - Genre: Inspirational, absurdist, fiction - Recommended reading age: 10 and up - 2023, Loose Screw Press
