From the reviews of the first edition: "This is a well-presented volume concerning the luminescence of a wide variety of minerals and synthetic mineral analogues. ... The particular strength of the book is its review of photoluminescence in minerals ... . this is an important volume that students of luminescence in mineralogy will value. It will be also be of interest to other solid state scientists such as chemists and physicists. ... It is a book I have recommended for my University library, and ... it is something I will need on my own shelf." (Adrian Finch, Geological Magazine, Vol. 143, 2006)
