Coal Geology covers all aspects of coal geology in one volume, bridging the gap between the academic aspects and the practical role of geology in the coal industry. The object of the book is to provide the reader with a with a description of the origins of coal together with the physical and chemical properties of coal and coal petrology before proceeding to cover all areas of coal exploration, production and use. <CoalGeologyCoalGeology.553.2/4Thomas Larry(Larry P.)902977MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820103703321Coal geology3948110UNINA
