Crustal Evolution means the changes that the Earth’s crust has gone through the geologic past as the effects of changes in the mantle-crust system, the atmosphere, the hydrosphere and the biosphere. Metallography is the genesis of metallic mineral deposits. Both the terms are used in the book in their conventional sense, but in the context of India. The book is the first of its kind to document in detail the nature, origin and evolution of Indian mineral deposits in the context of local and regional geology. The latter incorporates an evolutionary history of the mantle-crust system, the atmosphere, the hydrosphere and the biosphere and interactions thereof. The uniqueness of the book lies in that it combines both metallography and crustal evolution that were otherwise treated as stand-alone topics. The book synthesizes crustal evolution in India, and discusses metallography in that context. The exhaustive chapters carry numerous and detailed case studies describing the distribution and occurrence of ores and provide an up-to-date review of all these, keeping in view the world scenario. Throughout the book, the text is supported by a large number of photographs, figures, maps and tables. This book would be an asset to advanced students of geology, Earth Science professionals, researchers, teachers, planners and global metallography around the globe who want to be better acquainted with metallography in India vis-a-vis crustal evolution.
