Excerpt from Geology Applied to Mining: A Concise Summary of the Chief Geological Principles, a Knowledge of Which Is Necessary to the Understanding and Proper Exploitation of Ore-Deposits; For Mining Men and Students The writer was led to attempt the present volume through the perception of how great a need there was, among- mining men and students, of some work stating concisely those results of the science of geology which bear upon ore-deposits. No work of this type exists, so far as the writer His aware, in any language. The demand for such information is great among men of the classes referred to; yet in any of the available works on geology they find very little of that for which they are searching, combined with a great deal of that which, for the moment, is immaterial. In preparing this work two points have been kept in mind; first, to make statements as clear as possible, considering the technical nature of the subject; and, second, to present the scientific facts accurately, and as fully as absolutely necessary. Simplicity of language has been constantly striven after, but it must be remembered that it is impossible to discuss any technical matter without using terms peculiar to it. This book, as it goes forth, is far from meeting the author's perfect approval. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Introduction to Mineralogy and Petrology, Second Edition presents the essentials in an approach that is accessible to industry professionals, academic researchers and students. The book emphasizes the relationship between rocks and minerals, from the structures created during rock formation straight through to the economics of mineral deposits. While petrology is classified on the lines of geological evolution and rock formation, mineralogy speaks to physical and chemical properties, uses and global occurrences. The book's primary goal is for the reader to identify minerals in all respects, including host-rocks and mineral deposits, mineral-exploration, resources, extraction processes, and their further usage. To help provide a comprehensive analysis across ethical and socioeconomic dimensions, a separate chapter describes the hazards associated with minerals, rock and mineral industries, and the consequences to humanity that includes remedies and case studies. Addresses the full scope of core concepts of mineralogy and petrology, including crystal structure, formation and grouping of minerals and soils, definition, origin, structure and classification of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks Features more than 250 figures, illustrations and color photographs to vividly explore the fundamental principles of mineralogy and petrology Offers a holistic approach to both subjects, beginning with the formation of geologic structures that is followed by the hosting of mineral deposits and the exploration and extraction of lucrative, usable products that improve the health of global economies Includes new content on minerals and petrology in extraterrestrial environments and case studies on hazards in the mining industry
