PUBLICATIONS (Books , Book Chapters and Reviews)

In addition to original research papers, staff from the School's research groups contribute a wide range of books, book chapters and invited review articles to the scientific literature.  In order to provide a 'flavour' of the breadth of research activities within the groups, a selection of books, chapters and reviews are listed on this page.

Individual original research papers published by our staff can be accessed by searching in bibliographic databases such as 'Web of Science'.
