Synopsis

Practical geology that connects Earth’s layers to human needs, profits, and progress. This edition outlines what economic geology is, why it matters, and how rocks, minerals, and soils shape industry and civilization. It walks through structural features, rock types, and the patterns that control where valuable deposits form and how they are mined, processed, and used.

The content blends fundamental geology with real-world applications. It describes how to read rocks, assess features that affect quarrying and mining, and explore the relationships between ores, fuels, building materials, and agriculture. It also covers clays, bricks, cements, and soils, showing how these materials are formed, tested, and put to work in daily life.

• How rocks and minerals influence mining, smelting, and industrial use


• Different rock types, from crystalline to sedimentary, and their economic importance


• Procedures and criteria for evaluating soils, clays, bricks, and building stones

Ideal for readers of geology, mining, civil engineering, and related fields who want a clear map of economic rocks and their practical uses.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
