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)
