Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Mineralogy for Australian Readers Tms volume, written at the earnest solicitation of many of my former pupils, as well as professional friends in different parts of Australia, has been in the first place designed as a text-book for the use of students at college, but I am led to hope that it may also find an auditory beyond the class-room. Its publication needs no apology from me. Assuredly in these Colonies, whose mineral resources have been so largely laid under contribution, it is fully recognized that the Science of Mineralogy has a distinct bearing on the material wants of the community. The difficulty so often experienced is to meet with an elementary book fit to serve both as a companion to the lectures and a guide to those who are debarred from attend ing a regular course of instruction. There is no lack of excellent works of this kind written by European and American authors, but they convey, as a rule, little or no information respecting the distribution and mode of occur rence of mineral species in Australasian localities. Seeing how important it is to encourage the scholar to verify by personal observation the truth of the teaching he has received, it becomes necessary, in order to foster this habit of observing in the young mineralogist, to make him acquainted with the places where he may study the natural occurrence of minerals, and whence he may draw the material for his laboratory practice. In the descriptivepart of this book it has been my aim to present the subject essentially from the standpoint of an Australian inquirer. It is now well understood that the study of rocks, so important to the geologist and mining engineer, can only be satisfactorily pursued by the aid of mineral, as distinguished from chemical, analysis; the Optical properties, as revealed by microscopic examination, have accordingly received in the case of the rock-forming minerals rather more attention than is usually given in elementary text-books. Care has been taken to render the book of practical use in the laboratory, and the chemical properties and reactions leading to the identification of the species have been fully set out.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Mineralogy and Petrology, second edition, presents the essentials of both disciplines through an approach accessible to industry professionals, academic researchers, and students alike. This new edition emphasizes the relationship between rocks and minerals, right from the structures created during rock formation through the economics of mineral deposits. While petrology is classified on the lines of geological evolution and rock formation, mineralogy speaks to the physical and chemical properties, uses, and global occurrences for each mineral, emphasizing the need for the growth of human development. The primary goal is for the reader to identify minerals in all respects, including host-rocks, and mineral deposits, with additional knowledge of mineral-exploration, resource, extraction, process, and ultimate use. To help provide a comprehensive analysis across ethical and socio-economic dimensions, a separate chapter describes the hazards associated with minerals, rocks, and mineral industries, and the consequences to humanity along with remedies and case studies. New to the second edition: includes coverage of minerals and petrology in extra-terrestrial environments as well as case studies on the hazards of the mining industry. 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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of mineralogy is moving away from the traditional systematic treatment of mineral groups toward the study of the behaviour of minerals in relation to geological processes. A knowledge of how minerals respond to a changing geological environment is fundamental to our understanding of many dynamic earth processes. By adopting a materials science approach, An Introduction to Mineral Sciences explains the principles underlying the modern study of minerals, discussing the behaviour of crystalline materials with changes in temperature, pressure and chemical environment. The concepts required to understand mineral behaviour are often complex, but are presented here in simple, non-mathematical terms for undergraduate mineralogy students. After introductory chapters describing the principles of diffraction, imaging and the spectroscopic methods used to study minerals, the structure and behaviour of the main groups of rock-forming minerals are covered, and the role of defects in the deformation and transformation of a mineral are explained. The energy changes and the rate of transformation processes are introduced using a descriptive approach rather than attempting a complete and rigorous treatment of the thermodynamics and kinetics. Examples and case histories from a range of mineral groups are set in an earth science context, such that the emphasis of this book is to allow the student to develop an intuitive understanding of the structural principles controlling the behaviour of minerals.
