A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This syllabus is intended for the use of students both while in college and afterwards. The outlines given can be expanded by notes taken from the lectures, from reading, and from observation, and written out on the opposite pages left blank for that purpose. One of the most important things a student of economic geology needs to learn is where to find and how to use information that has been published. I have, therefore, endeavored to give references: first, to the works on the general subject of economic geology; second, to periodicals in which articles are to be looked for upon various economic subjects; third, to papers and reports upon special subjects. The general works and periodicals are listed on pages IV and VI, and the references to special topics are given as footnotes in the body of the syllabus under each topic. The list of references is not complete in any case, but it is usually sufficient to put the student in the way of finding other titles. By posting titles in the syllabus as the articles appear the student can add greatly to its usefulness, and in this way keep his own copy up to date. More space is given to the economic geology of the United States than to that of foreign countries. Some of the subjects are necessarily but briefly treated. For the sake of uniformity, the tons mentioned in this syllabus have all been reduced to short tons of 2,000 pounds. The compositions of minerals, unless otherwise stated, are the icoretic ones, and are taken from Dana s System of Mineralogy. The charts showing the production, imports, and prices, were made chiefly from the data of the United States Geological Survey. Space has been left on the right side of these diagrams so that the lines can be continued for several years. A few blank pages are left at the back of the book for the addition of notes and memoranda on special subjects not treated in t
(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

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.
