Synopsis

Mountains Float Crust explores the fascinating concept of isostasy, revealing how mountain ranges interact with Earth's lithosphere and mantle. It explains how mountains, less dense than the mantle, essentially "float," displacing a volume equivalent to their mass. The book highlights how erosion, by removing material from mountain peaks, reduces the load on the crust, triggering further uplift.

 
The book delves into glacial isostatic adjustment, exploring how the weight of ice sheets depresses the crust, leading to subsequent uplift as the ice melts. Presenting data from geological surveys and seismic studies, Mountains Float Crust argues that isostasy governs the long-term stability and vertical movement of mountains. Understanding isostatic principles is also crucial for assessing natural hazards in mountain regions.

 
The book begins by introducing the fundamental principles of isostasy and progresses to explore glacial isostatic adjustment and erosion-driven uplift, using case studies from the Himalayas, the Andes, and the Scandinavian Mountains. This approach connects Earth sciences with geography, ecosystems, and mountain habitats, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in mountain landscapes.

    For too long, Native American people in the United States have been stereotyped as vestiges of the past, invisible citizens in their own land obliged to remind others, "We are still here!" Yet today, Native leaders are at the center of social change, challenging philanthropic organizations that have historically excluded Native people, and fighting for economic and environmental justice. 
     
     
     
    Invisible No More is a collection of stories by Native American leaders, many of them women, who are leading the way through cultural grounding and nation-building in the areas of community, environmental justice, and economic justice. Authors in the collection come from over a dozen Native nations. While telling their stories, authors excavate the history and ongoing effects of genocide and colonialism. At the same time, the authors detail ways that listeners might imagine the world differently, presenting stories of Native community building that offer benefits for all. 
     
     
     
    In a world facing a mounting climate crisis and record economic inequality, Invisible No More exposes the deep wounds of a racist past while offering a powerful call to care for one another and the planet. Indigenous communities have much to offer, not the least of which are solutions gleaned from cultural knowledge developed over generations.

    '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.
