Download or read book Mineralia written by Jonathan Stone and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An up close, visual macro-exploration of rocks, minerals and fossils from around the world that evoke landscapes, other worlds and even the human condition in geological specimens unaltered from their natural forms. This book was designed as an object of fascination rather than a comprehensive tome, containing enough textual information on the featured mineral types and locations to encourage further research. The type of book that sparks an initial interest in a broader subject that can be explored for a lifetime. It is intended for all ages in the spirit of vintage coffee-table photo books of the 60s, 70s & 80s, scaled down to a comfortable 8" x 8" in sturdy square bound softcover. 25 full-page, detailed prints on double-thick art vellum paper. Printed in the USA. "I hope the book makes people look with more interest and detail at the world immediately around them, as well as at the geology of our planet; it is essentially integrated with every aspect of our lives, including the carbon cycle regulating our climate." - Jonathan Stone
Download or read book Photo Atlas of Mineral Pseudomorphism written by J. Theo Kloprogge and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2017-08-02 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photo Atlas of Mineral Pseudomorphism provides a comprehensive overview on the topic of pseudomorphism—in which one mineral is replaced by another but still maintains its original crystal form—a phenomenon that is far more common than currently thought and is extremely important in understanding the geologic history of rocks. There are many examples of pseudomorphs, but they have never been brought together in a single reference book that features high-resolution, full-color pseudomorph formations together with the original minerals that they have replaced. This book is the essential reference book for mineralogists, geologists or anyone who encounters mineral pseudomorphism in their work. 2018 PROSE Awards - Honorable Mention, Earth Science: Association of American Publishers Presents the only reference book on mineral pseudomorph formations Contains 500 high-resolution full color photos, along with a theoretical explanation of the geological processes that resulted in the pseudomorph formation Authored by J. Theo Kloprogge, who has more than 25 years of experience as a mineralogist

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
