Описание:
This book considers the most contemporary innovations propelling the extractive industries forward while also creating new environmental and social challenges. The socio-ecological fabric of innovation in the extractive industries is considered through an integrative approach that brings together engineers, natural scientists, and social scientists--academics and practitioners--giving an empirically grounded and realistic evaluation of the innovations in this sector. It synthesizes a series of questions including:
Why have these sectors been historically slow to innovate?
What specific strategies can improve innovation and uptake of new technologies?
What new forms of technology will shape the sector in the decades ahead?
What impact will new technologies have on resource extraction and energy production?
How are digital technologies changing the competitive landscape and industry architecture?
How will new technologies impact sustainability of the sector and can technologies improve social performance and environmental stewardship?

Описание: This is the first book on global agromining/phytomining technology. It presents the complete metal farming or agromining chain; an emerging technology expected to be transformative in the extraction of resources of those elements not accessible by traditional mining techniques. Meeting the demand for critical minerals (rare earth elements, platinum group elements, nickel cobalt) is increasingly difficult in the 21st century due to resource depletion and geopolitical factors. Agromining uses hyperaccumulator plants as “metal crops” farmed on sub-economic soils or mineral waste to obtain valuable elements.This book, which follows the metal farming chain, starts with the latest information on the global distribution and ecology of hyperaccumulator plants, biogeochemical pathways, the influence of rhizosphere microbes, as well as aspects of propagation and conservation of these unusual plants. It then presents the state of the art in new tools for identifying hyperaccumulator plants and for understanding their physiology and molecular biology. It goes on to describe the agronomy of “metal crops,” and opportunities for incorporating agromining into rehabilitation and mine closure, including test-cases of nickel, cobalt, selenium, thallium, rare earth elements and PGEs. Finally, it concludes with an overview of the latest developments in the processing of bio-ores and associated products. This book is edited and authored by the pioneers in the field who have been at the foreground of the development of agromining over the past three decades. It is timely as agromining is now at a pivotal point in its development with rapid expansion of activities in the field around the globe. As such it is of interest to environmental professionals in the minerals industry, government regulators and academics.
Описание: Horses played a major role in military, economic, social and cultural history of early-modern England. This title shows how control of resources is contingent upon a variety of logistical and political considerations. It demonstrates how competition for resources and construction of individuals` identities and allegiances fed into each other.

Описание: Suzanne's formative years were filled with unimaginable horrors that no child should ever experience. She was physically, sexually, and emotionally abused by the people she should have been able to trust most. Any time an opportunity presented itself for an adult to intervene, the situation only grew worse. When Suzanne finally escaped her abusive family to attend college, new doors opened in her life. She made new friends and was accepted into a family that loved, accepted, and protected her. When those ties later dissolved, she found herself heartbroken and confused yet again. After college, she fell in love, got married, and began a new life with her husband. Again, she found herself betrayed by someone who was supposed to love and care for her. As her marriage began to crumble, Suzanne met a friend who provided a haven for her. For the first time, she was able to trust. She discovered a passion in helping her friend care for foster children. Her past experiences had shown her the worst a child could experience, so she made it her mission to give these children her best. Through therapy and a renewed connection with God, Suzanne was able to not only work through the pain of her past but to use it to help other people. This story of grace and redemption is raw, real, and graphic. At times heartbreaking and gut-wrenching, it reveals the healing that can take place with love, faith, and forgiveness.
