Atlas of Econolnic Mineral Deposits / Атлас экономических месторождений полезных ископаемых

Air, sea, surface water and soil support life, from which comes our food; the fossil remains of life, that is: coal, oil and gas, together with solar and terrestrial radiation provide energy; but almost all the artifacts of human civilization are made from substances taken from the earth's crust. This book deals specifically with the geology of economically workable deposits of the solid, non-combustible mineral resources of the earth. Its purpose is to describe the geology of a carefully selected group of mineral deposits; to show where they are, what they consist of, how big they are and how they are related to the geological environment in which they occur. It is also intended to show what place each example has in the scientific study of deposits, and its iniportance as part of the natural resources available to mankind.
I am convinced that, to a large extent, geologists think and communicate best in pictures. The basis of almost all geological work is the making of maps, plans, sections and the like. The graphical form is the most efficient way of displaying and explaining geological observations and ideas. I have, therefore, decided to present this work in the form of, and to call it, an Atlas. <...>Deposits in Geological Environments at the Earth's Surface
