Synthesis, Properties and Mineralogy of Important Inorganic Materials (eBook)

Terence Warner was born and brought up in south-west England, a region renowned for its classical geology and unusual mineralization. He read chemistry at the University of York. After graduating, he was awarded a postgraduate diploma in mineral engineering, and a doctorate for his thesis on extractive metallurgy from the University of Leeds. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and has held research posts at the Universities of Cambridge and Leeds, and at the Max-Planck-Institute for Solid State Research, Stuttgart. He is currently Associate Professor of Materials Chemistry at the University of Southern Denmark. tew@kbm.sdu.dk
