Mineral resources and their guaranteed supply are essential for the development of a modern and technological society and efficient planning for the future. This Enclyclopedia collects together 112 alphabetically-arranged articles by 90 world authorities, which comprehensively address the problems of economic geology in a handy single volume. Industrial minerals are covered based upon their use, while metals and fuels (such as coal, petroleum and nuclear-energy minerals) are also dealt with based on their properties, distribution, production history and future outlook. Recent developments in alternatives to the use of asbestos, computer models in minning and exploration and the world distribution of coal and petroleum are also cevered. The articles are extensively cross-referenced and contain bibliographies for further reading, building over the whole Enclyclopedia to approximately 1100 up-to-date citations to the literature of economic geology. Widely illustrated by over 200 photographs, drawings and tables and complemented by a comprehensive there-levelsubject index, this work represents the most complete and up-to-date single-volume treatment available in the field.
