Title: A Very Chemically-Oriented Approach to the Lanthanides
Review: This work contains brief details about the rare earth elements, major deposits on Earth, beneficiation, etc. It also has a chapter on their uses, as well as a chapter on the biological effects of the rare earth elements.Most of this book, however, centers on chemistry and is quite technical. Topics covered include ions, electron orbitals, complexes and their stabilities, macrocyclic complexes, organometallic complexes, REE complexation, spectroscopy, and more. This book requires a strong background in chemistry to fully appreciate.
