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. < 606 $aCoal$xGeology 615 0$aCoal$xGeology. 676 $a553.2/4 700 $aThomas$b Larry$g(Larry P.)$0902977 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785720203321 996 $aCoal geology$92018622 997 $aUNINA
