Abstract
Clays are probably the most important component of surficial materials of the Earth. Because clays have been widely used by mankind since High Antiquity, they have been subject of a wide variety of studies in a number of different disciplines such as geology, soil science, mining, engineering, and biology. Readers interested in the various applications of clays are referred to the book by Robertson (1961).
