Summary: "The Economic Aspect of Geology" by C. K. Leith is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work explores the interconnections between geological sciences and their economic applications, particularly the study of mineral resources and their significance to modern civilization. The author aims to illuminate how geology plays a vital role not just in understanding Earth's materials, but also in practical aspects such as mining, conservation, and international trade. The opening of the text sets the stage for a thorough examination of economic geology, emphasizing its historical development and relevance in contemporary society. Leith introduces the idea that the science of geology has evolved significantly, particularly over the last hundred years, in response to the increasing demands of modern life for natural resources. The text discusses various facets of geological study—mineralogy, stratigraphy, structural geology, and physiography—and explains how each area contributes to understanding mineral deposits. Leith highlights the economic implications of geological knowledge, asserting that understanding the origin, distribution, and development of mineral resources is essential for effective exploration and conservation efforts.
