Principles Of Engineering Geology by K.M. Bangar is a book that is designed as a basic text for the students of B.Sc in Geology, B.E. in Civil Engineering and Mining Engineering, A.M.I.E. Section B, and also Diploma In Mining Engineering. This book can also be referred to by those who are appearing for the different competitive examinations conducted by the U.P.S.C. and other State PSCs. The book also provides the required information for the keen readers of Geology. Principles Of Engineering Geology covers topics such as physical geology, minerals, study of various crystals, and also the different types of rocks, such as igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. The book also covers different geological structures and the Indian geology. Some of the other topics that are covered in the book are different deposits of ore and the role of engineering in geology. Various methods of exploration and surveying techniques are also covered in the book.K.M. Bangar is also the author of Engineering and General Geology.

The basic purpose of this book is to present an analysis of geological field techniques which will function as a working guide for the approach, pursuit, and solution of geological problems, particularly those of mining geology. It is the author’s hope that not only will the book acquaint students with proper field procedures, but that it also will afford a convenient reference for practicing geologists.

A quick look at the reference list of this textbook (initially conceived for Italian university students) is sufficient to appreciate the leading role played by North American scientists in the development of geochemistry, and it is a great honor for me to present my appraisal of this fascinating discipline to readers whose mother tongue is English. The fascination of geochemistry rests primarily on its intermediate position between exact sciences (chemistry, physics, mathematics) and natural sciences.

Geodynamics is commonly thought to be one of the subjects which provide the basis for understanding the origin of the visible surface features of the Earth: the latter are usually assumed as having been built up by geodynamic forces originating inside the Earth ("endogenetic" processes) and then as having been degraded by geomorphological agents originating in the atmosphere and ocean ("exogenetic" agents).
