As a record of these scientific events, topical books have been published, among which the Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths edited by K. A. Gschneidner and L. Eyring is most important. Volume 1 was published in 1978 and volume 37 in 2007, and consecutive volumes of this book will continue to be published. Besides this, Lanthanide and Actinide Chemistry written by S. Cotton in 2006 and Rare Earths edited by G. X. Xu in 1995 (second edition, in Chinese) have also been published. These are comprehensive books on this topic.

A good, if at some points rather dated, survey is Complexes of the Rare Earths, S. P. Sinha, Pergamon, Oxford, 1966. An excellent recent account of the chemistry of the lanthanides and actinides is to be found in Lanthanides and Actinides, S. Cotton, Macmillan, London, 1991. An excellent series of brief review articles is to be found in Radiochim. Acta (1993) 61. Three examples are Overview of the Actinide and Lanthanide (the f) Elements by G. T. Seaborg (p 115), Systematics of Lanthanide Coordination by E. N. Rizkalla (p 118) and, for those who are interested in learning how to study the chemistry of a couple of dozen atoms, Atom-at-a-Time Chemistry by D. C. Hoffman (P 123).
