Metallogenetic and geochemical provinces : book review

Abstract

In November 1972 a symposium on metallogenetic and geochemical provinces was organized in Leoben by Prof. W.E. Petrascheck; the proceedings of this symposium have now appeared. The book is recommended to all those who want to combine their interest in economic geology with a somewhat wider outlook in order to place the ore deposits in their geologic context. The quality of the contributions is uneven, but some are outstanding, and Prof. Petrascheck can be proud of his initiative.
