mineral book:"Rare", Keith Veronese, 2015

Description

Here is another book loosely affiliated with minerals, but more as a social and economic analysis of what the significance is of rare Earth elements and rare metals. It details how societal power and destruction is interwoven with these substances and what the toll is humankind pays, often in the shade, for the retrieval and use of these materials. A fascinating book, if not purely for the mineral collector, for anyone who likes to think beyond the facade and gain insight into some of the supply and demand chains in the world of earth resources. This book is in great condition.
