The metal sulfides have played an important role in mineralogy and geochemistry since these disciplines first emerged and, for reasons detailed in the first chapter, have achieved an even greater importance in both fundamental and applied mineral sciences in recent years. It is no surprise that Volume 1 in the series, of which this book is Volume 61, was devoted to “Sulfide Mineralogy.” For some years there has been the need for an updated volume covering the subject areas of Volume 1 and addressing the new areas which have developed since its publication in 1974.

I am grateful to Paul...
