Summary

Gold Formation explores the captivating journey of gold, from its creation in supernova explosions to its concentration into valuable deposits on Earth. The book emphasizes the nucleosynthesis of gold within stellar events, detailing how these cataclysmic occurrences forge gold and other heavy elements. It also explores the geological mechanisms responsible for mobilizing and concentrating gold in the Earth's crust, such as magmatic activity and hydrothermal systems, akin to how a complex plumbing system can distribute valuable minerals. The book then transitions to surface processes, particularly the role of river systems in forming placer deposits. Understanding these topics is crucial, given gold's ongoing significance in economics and technology. The book progresses from the cosmic origins of gold to a thorough examination of geological formations, culminating in a discussion of deposit discovery, mining, and utilization. The unique value of this book lies in its comprehensive, integrated perspective, bridging the gap between astrophysics, geochemistry, and economic geology. By synthesizing research from multiple disciplines, Gold Formation provides a framework for exploring new gold deposits and managing existing resources more effectively, making it valuable for students and professionals in earth sciences.

From pandemic fatigue to staycations and Thanksgivings on Zoom, these stories will take you back to a time you might want to forget. Despite the understandable urge to leave the pandemic behind, Comeau proves that sometimes looking back can not only be therapeutic ... it might offer exactly the perspective we all need to continue to move forward too."  
    - Rohit Bhargava, WSJ Bestselling Author of Non-Obvious Thinking + Non-Obvious Megatrends 
    During the early stages of coronavirus, Amy Moudy Comeau, MBA, an award-winning and acclaimed marketing executive, began writing weekly emails to her Emory Healthcare marketing team every Friday, as a form of encouragement and support to get them through eight weeks of shelter-in-place, which turned into a three-year pandemic. 
    Amy’s Friday emails became a weekly tradition, providing support and even levity during this transformational time. Years later, these time-stamped entries, along with present-day commentary from the author giving insight and hindsight reflections on the pandemic, leadership, self-care and marketing, provide a unique snapshot back into those “unprecedented” days of the pandemic.  
    Every Storm Runs Out of Rain gives insightful lessons on leadership and resilience, and finding the silver lining in the middle of a crisis.
