Metals and Society: An Introduction to Economic Geology (Springer Geochemistry/Mineralogy) Hardcover - 2012 - 2012th Edition
by ARNDT
From the rear cover
"Economic Geology, The Origin and Mining of Ore Deposits" focusses not only on the nature and origin of ore deposits but also explores the economic issues that surround the exploitation of mineral resources. Topics of particular interest are the rate of exploitation of natural resources, the question of when or if these resources will be exhausted, the pollution and social disturbance that accompanies mining, the compromises and challenges that arise from the explosion of demand from China, India and other rapidly developing countries, and the moral issues that surround the mining of metals in lesser developed countries for consumption in "first-world" countries. With its dual character, a summary of scientific research on ore deposits and their economic ramifications, the book is useful as an introductory text for students in earth sciences and a reference volume for students, teachers and researchers of geography, economics and social sciences.
