Book Description
Excerpt from Dana's Manual of Mineralogy: For the Student of Elementary Mineralogy, the Mining Engineer, the Geologist, the Prospector, the Collector, Etc The "Manual of Mineralogy" was first published by James Dwight Dana in 1848. A second edition was printed in 1850 and a "New Edition," which had been revised and enlarged, was published in 1857. The book was rearranged and rewritten for the third edition which appeared in 1878. This edition included an extensive chapter on rocks, and the title of the book was changed to "Manual of Mineralogy and Petrography." The fourth and last revision was published in 1887. Since that time the book has been frequently reprinted, so that the last edition was the twelfth. But it is now twenty-five years since the last revision of the text. Believing that the Manual has amply proved its usefulness, and with the desire of keeping the series of the Dana Mineralogies complete, Professor Edward S. Dana asked the author to prepare a new and revised edition. It was found that it was desirable to rewrite the book, and consequently, as far as the text and figures are concerned, this present edition is almost wholly new. The scope and character of the book, however, have been kept as nearly as possible the same. The book has been primarily designed to fill the ordinary needs of the elementary student of Mineralogy, the mining engineer, the geologist and the practical man who may be interested in the subject. It has been made brief and direct and the treatment has been as untechnical as possible. The chapter on Petrography has been omitted and only a brief and general description of the various important rock types given. This change was made in view of the fact that since 1887 the subject of Pelography has had so large a development as to render impossible its adequate treatment in a single chapter.

Book Description
Africa’s dire need to industrialize is universally acknowledged and it is evident that the continent’s vast mineral resources can catalyze that industrialization. This requires the promotion of local beneficiation and value addition of minerals to yield materials on which modern Africa’s industry and society can rely. This book is, therefore, about transforming Africa’s comparative advantages in minerals into the continent’s competitive edge regarding materials. Mineral beneficiation and value addition form the basis and provide opportunities for mineral-driven Africa’s industrialization. The scope of the book is three-fold with inter-connected relationships: Information, Technical, and Policy oriented. It will be a useful reference material for mining undergraduate students on beneficiation and value addition of each of the minerals found in Africa. The book, while presenting a broad overview of beneficiation and value addition of Africa’s minerals, provides crucial starting material for postgraduate research students and R&D institutions who wish to delve into more advanced methods of extraction and utilization of mineral-derived materials that are in Africa for the purpose of industrialization of the continent.
