“The work is handsomely illustrated, with many line drawings, maps and sections, charts and colour images on all scales from the continental to the microscopic, including samples, outcrops and mines. This book is very worthwhile, most notably for its description of the mineral endowment of India, the mining sector in the country, and the social context and regulatory framework in which mines operate across India.” (Graham C. Wilson, Mineralium Deposita, Vol. 53, 2018)
