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

Download or read book The Periodic Table written by Eric R. Scerri and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The periodic table of elements is among the most recognizable image in science. It lies at the core of chemistry and embodies the most fundamental principles of science. In this new edition, Eric Scerri offers readers a complete and updated history and philosophy of the periodic table. Written in a lively style to appeal to experts and interested lay-persons alike, The Periodic Table: Its Story and Its Significance begins with an overview of the importance of the periodic table and the manner in which the term "element" has been interpreted by chemists and philosophers across time. The book traces the evolution and development of the periodic table from its early beginnings with the work of the precursors like De Chancourtois, Newlands and Meyer to Mendeleev's 1869 first published table and beyond. Several chapters are devoted to developments in 20th century physics, especially quantum mechanics and and the extent to which they explain the periodic table in a more fundamental way. Other chapters examine the formation of the elements, nuclear structure, the discovery of the last seven infra-uranium elements, and the synthesis of trans-uranium elements. Finally, the book considers the many different ways of representing the periodic system and the quest for an optimal arrangement.

Download or read book Introduction to the Study of Minerals written by Austin Flint Rogers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of Minerals: A Combined Text-Book and Pocket Manual This work is intended primarily as a text-book for a one-year course in mineralogy. While full enough for class work it is condensed enough for field work. There is decided advantage in using the same book in the field as in the class room and laboratory. The author's aim has been to produce a Well-balanced book covering the whole field of mineralogy as far as is practicable; and one in which the practical methods of identifying. Minerals, the economic features, and the scientific aspects of mineralogy as a means of correlating hundreds of isolated facts, are all given their proper emphasis. The only way to bring out the important and essential points is to omit the great mass of details which are properly included in the reference books. Two hundred minerals have been included in the descriptions (part V I). These have been selected with great care, although the list is necessarily an arbitrary one based upon the writer's experience and judgment. All the common minerals and the more important useful ones are included in the two hundred. Others have been selected for practice in testing and also to give a comprehensive view of the mineral kingdom. In most miner alogical text-books brief descriptions of some of the rare minerals are given. In the writer's Opinion this is not advisable, for one needs a full description of a rare mineral in order to identify it.
