Ore Geology and Industrial Minerals

An Introduction

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This third edition of A.M. Evan's successful undergraduate text Introduction to Ore Geology is an enlarged and d extensively revised work. The increase in size (and the new title) primarily reflects the additional coverage of industrial minerals and bulk materials, an area of economic geology that has grown in prominence over the past decade. The new edition includes three new chapters: the opening chapter provides and overview of mineral economics and two chapters are devoted entirely to industrial minerals.
