Description: This special issue collects together relevant data spanning the quarter-century from 1982 to 2007. It comprises 936 entries, 220 tables and 44 figures. Wherever possible, the data are presented as Arrhenius expressions, giving a total of 304. The materials covered number 410 in all and include oxides based upon aluminium, barium, bismuth, boron, caesium, calcium, cerium, chromium, cobalt, copper, erbium, gadolinium, gallium, germanium, indium, iridium, iron, lanthanum, lead, lithium, magnesium, manganese, mercury, molybdenum, neodymium, nickel, niobium, phosphorus, plutonium, potassium, praseodymium, ruthenium, samarium, scandium, silicon, sodium, strontium, tantalum, tellurium, terbium, thorium, tin, titanium, tungsten, uranium, vanadium, ytterbium, yttrium, zinc and zirconium, plus their many compounds and solid solutions. Altogether, this volume provides a wealth of information on the topic.
