This book comprises a collection of papers presented at the First National Conference on Clays and Clay Technology, held at the University of California in 1952. It represents the summary of the fundamental knowledge about clays gained in each of the various scientific disciplines that deal with them, at the time of the book's publication. The book's main focus is on the geology, mineralogy, properties, and applications of clay technology in soil science, soil mechanics, the petroleum industry, and ceramics. The author emphasizes the continual broadening of clay research within these industries as well as within physics, chemistry, geology, and engineering, highlighting the importance of clay to science and industry not only in California but throughout the world. This book is a snapshot in time of the state of the science of clay research in the early 1950s, and as such is a valuable resource for understanding the development of this field.
