I am looking for some comprehensive academic- and professional-level level ebooks on geology, mineralogy, mineral prospecting (including wide-scale field and aerial remote sensing), and mining engineering and mineral extraction/processing. In particular, I am looking for the following ebooks:
"Remote Sensing Geology" - RP Gupta;
"The Manual Of Remote Sensing" - published in 4 or 5 volumes by Wiley;
"Manual Of Minerals", - Wiley, 23rd Edition 2007, edited by C Klein, or the 22nd Edition 1997, being a revision of "Manual Of Mineralogy" by J D Dana, first published in 1844 (it and the 2nd edition of 1869 are available in archive.org), having been through many revisions since, including after Dana's death;
"Textbook Of Mineralogy" by E S Dana (son of J D Dana) - the latest possible revision is desired, of the original published in 1877 (it and the 1903 reprint of the 1898 2nd edition are available on archive.org) and revised many times since.
Also books on gold/silver/platinum mining/extraction/refining/ore-processing, especially ones with alternative methods to the use of mercury or cyanide.
