Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Introductory Economic Geology" serves as a comprehensive foundational text on the study of earth materials that have economic value. Written by W. A. Tarr, this work explores the distribution, formation, and extraction of mineral deposits, covering both metallic and non-metallic resources. The book provides a detailed examination of the geologic processes that lead to the concentration of valuable minerals, including magmatic differentiation, hydrothermal deposition, and sedimentary processes.Readers will find in-depth discussions on essential commodities such as coal, petroleum, natural gas, iron, and precious metals. Tarr emphasizes the relationship between geological structures and the occurrence of ore bodies, offering insights that are vital for understanding the mining and petroleum industries of the early 20th century. By bridging the gap between theoretical geology and practical application, "Introductory Economic Geology" remains a significant reference for students and professionals interested in the history of economic geology and the scientific principles underlying the exploitation of the earth's natural wealth.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
