Abstract
THIS volume is largely a translation of Stutzer's well-known work, “Allgemeine Kohlen-geologie”, but includes a certain amount of revision of the German text by Stutzer himself and much new material, mainly concerning American coalfields, by the late Dr. A. C. Noe, of the University of Chicago. It is designed to supply geologists, mining engineers and others interested in the coal industry, with a full and authoritative account of the many and varied geological problems connected with coal deposits. These are treated broadly in successive chapters dealing with chemical and physical properties of coal, micro-scopic examination of coal, origin of coal, processing of coal, origin of coal beds, stratigraphy of coal deposits, petrography of coal beds, and disturbances affecting coal beds. Each chapter has its own list of references. Geology of Coal By Otto Stutzer. Translated and revised by Adolph C. Noe. Pp. xiii + 461. (Chicago: University of Chicago Press; London: Cambridge University Press, 1940.) 30s. net.
