Synopsis
Especially meant for BE, BSc and AMIE students pursuing their education in the branches of Civil, Metallurgy and Mining, this book titled Engineering & General Geology is indeed an ocean of information. Dealing with a host of geological concepts and principles that make their presence felt in many streams of engineering, this book authored by Parbin Singh is available on Snapdeal.
Categorized under science and technology, this book which merges geology with engineering is helpful to students who are working on an academic project. Geology which is also a part of civil and mining engineering basically deals with the earth’s crust and its effects on the natural forces. Hence, the interlinking between these two varied topics of engineering and geology becomes the basis for such a book that is useful to both engineering and geology students.
Covering important topics concerning the earth, this book throws light on various features of the soil and rock with an in-depth study of different minerals. Beginning with the introductory topic called the Earth, the book progresses to explain the concepts connected with Geological Work of Water, Hypsographic Features, Geological Work of Natural Agencies, and Structural Features of Rocks.
Speaking of the earthquakes that rock the earth, Engineering & General Geology has information pertaining to soils, mineral deposits, geological excavations and investigations, while talking about dams and reservoirs. It is in this context that engineers play an active role in understanding the nature of land to avoid construction of buildings in earthquake-prone areas.
Hence, this book provides an overview of the fundamentals of both the subjects in question in a clear manner.
