MINERAL RESOURCES, ECONOMICS AND THE ENVIRONMENT : Kesler, Stephen E., Simon, Adam C.: desertcart.in: Books Review: Excellent book - should be read by all in geological sciences - top of its class - my students loved it! Review: An excellent reference source and survey overview of economic minerals use and distribution in the Earths crust. The primary strenghts presented include a nice mix of technical geological process information which results in the known distribution of minerals and their use in society and the economics of minerals. The social license to mine in areas of high consumption is nicely presented along with the debates about who's backyard should extractive industries be located? Future editions could include more information on best practices for environmental protection, regulatory oversight and permitting, engineering controls, and monitoring at modern mining locations, and lessons learned from historical mining sites with respect to environmental impacts and the costs associated with those impacts. Highly recommended to all professionals working in the minerals industries in addition to students preparing for careers in natural resources.
