Issued without a dust jacket. -- This examination of industrial minerals and the broader extractive industries is structured to provide detailed insight into geological, technical, environmental, and economic dimensions of mineral extraction and use, with contributions from a range of international experts representing industry, academia, and regulatory bodies. It begins with an ethical framing of geoscientific responsibility in the extractive sector, setting the tone for the complex interplay between resource demand and sustainability. The section on the geology of industrial minerals covers a diverse range of materials and geologic contexts. It includes overviews of aggregate resources in the United States, clay industries in southwest England, ultramafic-hosted mineralization in Norway, the slate industry, and perlite deposits, among others. Discussions of borates, ochre, and manganese reflect the spectrum of mineral types - from bulk materials to niche pigments - highlighting both historical and forward-looking trends. Regional reviews expand the perspective, with case studies from Canada, Greece, Sweden, Finland, Saudi Arabia, and the United States. These chapters illustrate how geology, economic priorities, and infrastructure interact in shaping the supply and strategic development of industrial minerals within specific national contexts. Attention is also given to future market trends, geopolitical considerations, and the need for proactive resource management. The case history section provides applied insights into real-world challenges and methodologies, such as quarry slope stability, groundwater management in karst terrains, and value-added mineral processing. Several entries detail material-specific studies, including refractory dolomite in Europe, magnesite in Canada, and sapphires from Montana, reflecting the diversity of commodities and the geological specificity of their occurrences. The exploration-focused chapters present both traditional field techniques and advanced analytical strategies. These include the use of geophysical indicators like magnetic susceptibility, geochemical modeling of clay genesis, and lifecycle analysis for specialty clays. Such tools are positioned not only as aids for resource identification but as essential frameworks for sustainable development in mineral-rich but infrastructure-limited regions. Design and engineering aspects are addressed in the pit and quarry planning section. Contributions explore hazard assessment, resource modeling, regulatory compliance, and innovative approaches to post-extraction landscape replication. These studies underscore the importance of integrating safety, planning, and land-use foresight into extraction site management. Environmental and social concerns are robustly represented. Essays address reclamation law, ecological restoration, biodiversity gains from extraction landscapes, and public perception of geological hazards. The discussion of EU environmental directives alongside examples of local stakeholder engagement emphasizes how legislative frameworks influence on-the-ground practices in mining and restoration. A final section on raw materials from waste addresses the evolving role of secondary resources. It includes detailed analyses of blast furnace slags, fly ash, and quarry by-products, as well as the synthesis of high-value materials such as zeolites from industrial residues. These chapters reflect the industry's increasing attention to circularity and material revalorization. Through its integration of global case studies, thematic diversity, and a strong technical foundation, this volume serves as a valuable reference for geoscientists, mining engineers, planners, and environmental managers.…
