Overview

""Elementary Economic Geology"" provides a thorough and foundational exploration of the practical application of geological principles to the discovery and extraction of natural resources. Written by H. Ries, a noted authority in the field, this work offers a clear and systematic introduction to the occurrence, distribution, and classification of both metallic and non-metallic minerals. The text delves into the formation of ore deposits, examining the physical and chemical processes that concentrate valuable minerals within the Earth's crust. Readers will find detailed discussions on a wide range of materials, including precious metals, industrial minerals, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Beyond fuel and ores, Ries also covers the geological properties of structural materials such as building stone, clay, and cement, emphasizing their economic significance and utility. Designed for students and those entering the mining and geological professions, ""Elementary Economic Geology"" serves as a vital bridge between theoretical earth science and the industrial world. Its structured approach to the study of the planet's natural wealth makes it a significant historical resource for understanding the scientific methods used to identify and evaluate the materials that fuel global industry and infrastructure.
