What is Introduction to Mineralogy and Petrology about?

__Introduction to Mineralogy and Petrology, Second Edition__ presents the essentials in an approach that is accessible to industry professionals, academic researchers and students. The book emphasizes the relationship between rocks and minerals, from the structures created during rock formation straight through to the economics of mineral deposits. While petrology is classified on the lines of geological evolution and rock formation, mineralogy speaks to physical and chemical properties, uses and global occurrences. The book's primary goal is for the reader to identify minerals in all respects, including host-rocks and mineral deposits, mineral-exploration, resources, extraction processes, and their further usage. To help provide a comprehensive analysis across ethical and socioeconomic dimensions, a separate chapter describes the hazards associated with minerals, rock and mineral industries, and the consequences to humanity that includes remedies and case studies.
