Synopsis:

The Concise Encyclopedias draw relevant articles from the Encyclopedia of Materials Science and Engineering, the only complete reference work in this rapidly developing field. Where necessary, articles have been revised and new articles have been commissioned to provide current accounts of the most recent developments in each area. Copublished with Pergamon Press. Mineral resources have allowed the development of a modern industrial and technological society. The problem of guaranteeing future mineral supplies is addressed here in articles that define mineral deposits in terms of economics - through past, present, and projected data on consumption and mode of usage - and in terms of geology through feasibility of recovery and grade and tonnage of known and potential deposits.

Synopsis: Over 100 alphabetically-arranged articles by 90 world authorities, newly written or revised from the Encyclopedia of materials science & engineering , which comprehensively address the problems of economic geology in a single volume. Industrial minerals are covered based upon their use, while metals and fuels (such as coal, petroleum, and nuclear-e
