Number 2. Classic Papers in Structure Topology, papers selected and commentary by F.C. Hawthorne (2006). Prof. Frank Hawthorne of the University of Manitoba re-examines a series of seminal papers which help us to focus on the key issues concerning structural connectivity in inorganic solids, of which minerals are a key component. and to look at where we are today in our understanding of crystal structures. Diego Gatta in Mineralogical Magazine writes that, "the publication of these landmark papers, accompanied by Hawthorne's comentaries, will be useful not only for undergraduate or PhD students, but for all structural mineralogists. This collection provides valuable insights into the evolution of structural mineralogy and its wider application to petrology." Format A4 Paperback, 301 pp. ISBN 0-903056-23-2. Price $56 Topics covered:
- Bond topology and minerals
- The structure of complex ionic crystals
- The structure of silicates
- Stereoisomerism among octahedral crystals and tetrahedral chains
- Empirical bond-valence - bond-length curves for oxides
- Systematic retrieval and classificvation of edge-sharing clusters
- Non-existent silicates
- Chemical structuring and bonding
- Graphical enumeration of polyhedral crystals
- Energetic content of bond topology
- The Role of OH and H2O and oxysalt minerals

Number 3. Classic Papers in Metamorphic Petrology, papers selected and commentary by B. W. Evans (2007). Metamorphic Petrology is a field that was barely defined at the beginning of the 20th century, but blossomed rapidly to a point where many of the first order problems had been resolved by the century's end opening up a whole range of new research opportunities. Professor Bernard Evans of the University of Washington has selected a collection of papers from diverse sources and his valuable commentary on each paper places it in the context of what has gone before. The papers document the major achievements of the field, but also the new challenges that it has set itself. Format A4 Paperback, 319 pp. ISBN 978-0-903056-24-3 Price $56 Topics covered:
- The laws of metamorphism
- Barrovian metamorphism
- The metamorphic facies
- Metamorphism of limestone and the petrogenetic grid
- Composition projections
- Mixed volatiles
- Blueschists
- Pseudosections
- Thermal models of collision belts
- Mineral thermometry
- Thermodynamic data base of minerals
- Fluid driven metamorphism
- Kinetics: experiment and theory
- Ultra-high pressure metamorphism
- Kinetics: field
