This book highlights the indispensability of minerals, the
vulnerability of humans and issues faced by governments around the
world regarding the management of natural resources. It addresses
the growing land-ecology-mining conflicts, energy security and
water policies of different countries bringing these issues into
focus and critically analyzing them. The book discusses the role of
governments regarding the security-centric issues pertaining to
sustainability of mineral supply and the welfare-centric aspects of
sustainable development of mineral resources. The latter includes
the current trends for corporate social responsibility, political
viability of mining projects, industrial ethics, human health and
human resource development. The Annexure I is unique: It is a list
of 925 familiar consumer products and processes with the names of
the minerals, metals and rocks as well as the intermediate
chemicals and alloys that go into the making of that product or
process alongside each. Annexure II is an up-to-date, exhaustive
list of about 835 minerals, metals, rocks and intermediate
chemicals and alloys and against each of them is a list of the
names of the end products and processes for which they are used.
These two annexures will serve as a day-to-day reference source for
teachers, students and professionals concerned with minerals as
well as other interested readers. The book will be useful to any
university/institution with undergraduate and post-graduate
teaching/research facilities and libraries in the field of geology,
mining, mineral economics, planning and natural-resource
management. About the Author Kaulir Kisor Chatterjee studied
