Jones (U. of Birmingham, UK) first briefly describes the origins, uses and importance of these elements. Then aspects of structure, bonding, chemical thermodynamics and spectroscopy are described, with examples drawn from different parts of the d- or f-blocks. The text assumes a basic knowledge of symmetry, atomic structure, thermo-dynamics and electrode potentials. A familiarity with the qualitative use of the molecular orbital approach to bonding is also assumed, although an understanding of group theory is not essential. Annotation c.
