Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Economic Geology of the United States The following work on the Economic Geology of the United States covers essentially the ground which is gone over in the elementary course in this subject in Cornell University, but it is hoped that it will prove useful as a text-book in other colleges. The mode of arrangement is markedly different from that found in other books on the same subject, in that the nonmetallic minerals are discussed first and the metallic minerals last. This, to the author, seems the most desirable method of treatment, for the reason that the non-metallics are not only the most important, the value of their production having exceeded the metallics by over one hundred and fifty million dollars in 1903, but also because it leads from a discussion of the simpler to the more complex forms of mineral deposits. It has not been thought desirable to include a chapter on geologic and physiographic principles, since the space which could be allotted to it is altogether too small, and, moreover, the study of economic geology presupposes a knowledge of geology and mineralogy on the part of the student. While the references given at the end of each chapter do not include every paper that has been written on the subject to which they refer, still it is believed that they are sufficiently numerous to permit one to follow out the subject in considerable detail if he so desire. In the preparation of the manuscript all available sources of information have been freely drawn upon, and the numbers in parentheses in the text refer to the numbered references at the end of each chapter.
