Sommario/riassunto

The book is about much more than a mere list of uses of the energy minerals, which are the most important concerns of one and all now-a-days. In this book, all the eight energy minerals have been brought within one cover. The book traces the history of use of each mineral to its beginning in India, as well as in the other parts of the world; it explains the reasons why a particular grade of a particular mineral is used for a particular purpose.
