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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mineralogy: An Introduction to the Scientific Study of Minerals The student Will not find in the following pages any systematic account of the modes of occurrence of minerals, their geological distribution, their origin, their alterations, or their artificial reproduction, although these constitute the most important, and, perhaps, the most interesting section of Mineralogy proper. There are no chapters upon these subjects because, in my Opinion, they deserve to form a separate volume, and cannot be treated adequately in a volume dealing with the characters and properties of minerals. The essential characters of a mineral, moreover, are quite independent of its source or previous history, and may well be made the first and separate object of study. In the description of mineral species the modern text-book often endeavours to give too much information, and ends by becoming a book of reference rather than a treatise which can be read by the student. This should no longer be necessary, now that Dana's System and Hintze's Handbuch are available; in the present volume an attempt is made to select for the student all that he requires for an elementary acquaint ance with the subject. The species described are those which he will find in all museums, and most of them he may collect for himself. The customary lists of localities are replaced by a description of a few typical occurrences for each important species by a careful study of the corresponding specimens the beginner should obtain the information which will enable him to pursue the subjects of geological and chemical mineralogy with some previous knowledge of minerals. The few angles given are generally only such as are sufficient for the calculation of the axial ratios or for simple exercises in the calculation of indices. In the discussion of optical characters, the introduction of two ellipsoids may appear unnecessary and even confusing; the Fresnel Ellipsoid has been introduced in order to avoid incorrect statements about optic axes, but it will be found that the indicatrix is the only ellipsoid subsequently employed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Mineralogy In the preparation of the revised edition of this book, it has been considered advantageous to make somewhat fundamental alterations in several places. The advance of Mineralogy in recent years, the changed points of view of economic mineralogists, and the needs of the present-day student, have all been deemed to justify such changes; indeed, one indication of the need for some such revision was shown in the ever-increasing collection of appendices that were to be found in the former editions. Nevertheless, it has been the reviser's endeavour to conserve as much as possible of the original, and all alterations have been carefully considered. Part I. treats of the Properties of Minerals. The original chapter on Crystallography has been entirely rewritten, and a chapter on Optical Properties has been added, which, it is hoped, will be found useful to the student. Part II. consists of the description of Mineral Species. Here the original arrangement has been followed, except in regard to the silicates. New introductions to the elements have been given; specially important among these are introductions to the principal metals, which, together with certain statistics, have been supplied by Mr. W. G. Wagner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Mineralogy, or the Natural History of the Mineral Kingdom: Containing a General Introduction to the Science, and Descriptions of the Separate Species, Including the More Recent Discoveries and Chemical Analyses In a work of such extent, containing so many numbers, and in which almost every word expresses a definite fact, errors can scarcely be avoided. The Author has endeavoured to diminish their number by careful and repeated revision, and trusts that those overlooked may be found comparatively few, and not such as to interfere with the utility of the volume. He would gladly hope that, with all its defects, the work may in some measure aid in promoting the study of this branch of science, and in extending the knowledge of those wonders of Creative Wisdom with which the Mineral Kingdom, like every other portion of Nature, so richly abounds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Mineralogy and Geology A new edition of the following work having been call ed for, the author has been induced to remodel it, by the conviction that a method of teaching and studying the science different from, and superior to, that which had for merly been pursued in this country, ought to be adopted. That method is well known to have possessed too much of a traditionary character, and to have obliged the stu dent to depend more upon the ipse. Diorit of his instructor than his own investigation. In preparing this edition it has been the design of the author, so far as it was in his power, to furnish the student with a guide by means of which he might be satisfactorily conducted through the process of examining minerals, to the attainment of cor rect results. To accomplish this, sufficient information is given in the following pages, to enable him rightly to employ the characters of mineral substances and to trace the relations existing between them.

Download or read book Introduction to Mineralogy and Petrology written by Swapan Kumar Haldar and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2020-07-29 with total page 437 pages. 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
