  'If it can't be grown, it must be mined.' This fundamental truth underscores the global need for mining, and the reason why it has been carried out since prehistoric times. To supply the raw materials for buildings, industrial goods, vehicles, technology, and even art, minerals and rock must be removed from the Earth. 'Mining' describes this removal, but also covers the ore deposit exploration, developments of ore deposit models (geological, engineering and mineral economics-focused) and post-removal processing to extract the economically valuable materials, environmental protection, and social and corporate responsibility, in a construct known as the 'Mining Value Chain.' Mining continues to evolve due to the new emphasis on extracting a wider range of materials than ever before for green technologies, on using novel robotic and earth observation technology in exploration and mining, and on integrating environmental and social protection measures throughout the Mining Value Chain. Today's paradigms are 'sustainable' and 'responsible mining', mining that is profitable but protects the environment, human rights, and health. Mining: A Very Short Introduction covers this information and looks to the future to see where mining ideally will go.

  “Marla Brooks has crafted a down-to-earth collection of Witch Wisdom. The inclusion of Great-Grandma Sophie’s witchy tips adds a charming touch, making the reader feel as though they are receiving teachings from a trusted elder.” —Jason Miller, author of Consorting with Spirits and other works   Explore the seasons of the witch by way of magickal spells and practices for each turn of the Wheel of the Year. Magick for All Seasons offers a fresh approach to a lifestyle that focuses on mind, body, and spirit in the nature-based way that our ancestors practiced throughout the ages.   Each season is marked by a series of holy days, or sabbats, to honor the qualities of each time of the year, life’s lessons as revealed through nature, and our relationship with the god and goddess. These holy days are divided into Greater Sabbats and Lesser Sabbats which reflect the themes of birth, death, and rebirth. The spokes of the Wheel are comprised of the four Greater and four Lesser Sabbats.  “The biggest takeaway from the Wheel of the Year is that your life will ebb and flow just as plants drop their seeds, grow, lose their leaves, die in winter, and grow back again. Your life experiences all of the seasons in the human way.” —from the foreword by Lorriane Anderson   Starting with Samhain, author Marla Brooks, an experienced and longtime magickal practitioner, explores the eight Wiccan and Pagan sabbats that comprise the traditional Wheel of the Year. She incorporates original spells, recipes, incantations, meditations, and more that enhance the magick of each season. Each sabbat is detailed with information on the symbolism, activities, tools, incense, and gemstones used, along with specific workings and exercises.

  7 Seconds to Die - A Military...

  A military study of the 2020 war between Armenia and Azerbaijan—the first war in history won primarily by unmanned systems. 
   
  Fought over the course of forty-four days, the Second Nagorno-Karabakh war resulted in a decisive military victory for Azerbaijan. Armenia lost even though they controlled the high ground in a mountainous region that favored traditional defense. In 7 Seconds to Die, military consultant and historian John Antal examines the decisive factors of the war and their implications for the future of armed conflict. 
   
  The fact that Azerbaijan won the war is not extraordinary, considering the correlation of forces arrayed against Armenia. What is exceptional is that this was the first modern war primarily decided by unmanned weapons. The Turkish-made BAYRAKTAR TB2 Unmanned Air Combat Vehicle (UCAV) and the Israeli-made HAROP Loitering Munition (LM) dominated the fighting and provided Azerbaijan with a war-winning advantage.
