Framboids

I found Framboids to be a fun and highly educational read. Ever since I first saw a pyrite framboid, I wondered how these entities could arrange themselves in such beautiful symmetries. In this book, David Rickard documents how other compounds generate framboids and that these materials are everywhere even though they cannot easily be seen. Rickard does a spectacular job in providing the history of their discovery, starting with optical microscopy through more advanced electron microscopy methods. For the scientist who wishes to understand the physical and chemical forces that align microcrystals into framboids, he provides an exquisite step-by-step dissertation regarding their formation, growth mechanisms, nucleation, self-assembly, and self-organization.

David Rickard is Emeritus Professor of Geochemistry at Cardiff University and Adjunct Professor of Marine Geochemistry at the University of Delaware. He received his BSc, ARSM, DIC, and PhD from Imperial College London. Rickard has authored more than 300 publications, including four books and over 150 original research papers on sulfide chemistry, geochemistry, biogeochemistry, and ore geology. His most recent book is Pyrite (Oxford University Press, 2015). He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Royal Society of Biology, the Geochemical Society, and the Geological Society of London.

Klappentext
In Framboids, David Rickard analyzes and discusses the importance of these natural, small subspherical aggregates of pyrite.
