Sinossi

Platinum Formation explores the fascinating journey of platinum, from its origins deep within the Earth's mantle to its concentration into valuable ore deposits. This book examines the geological processes responsible for transforming trace amounts of this precious metal into economically viable resources. Platinum's unique properties, such as its resistance to corrosion and its catalytic activity, make it essential for various industries, including automotive and electronics. The book investigates how magmatic activity transports platinum group elements (PGEs) from the mantle to the crust, where they accumulate in specific geological environments. It argues that the formation of significant platinum deposits requires a specific combination of geological factors, including an enriched mantle source, efficient transport mechanisms via magma, and favorable conditions for precipitation in the crust. By integrating recent advances in mantle dynamics with detailed analyses of crustal ore-forming processes, Platinum Formation provides a quantitative understanding of the factors controlling platinum concentration. Beginning with the basic properties of platinum, the book progresses through mantle dynamics, magma transport, and crustal deposition environments. It features geochemical analyses, isotopic studies, and case studies of major platinum deposits. The book concludes by considering the economic aspects of platinum mining, exploration strategies, and future resource management. This approach provides a comprehensive perspective on the geological origin of platinum.

    The Language of Climate Politics...

    In an illuminating analysis, Dr. Genevieve Guenther shows that the climate debate is not, in fact, neatly polarized, with Republicans obstructing climate action and Democrats advancing climate solutions. Partisans on the right and the left often repeat the same fossil-fuel talking points, and this repetition produces a centrist consensus upholding the status quo, even as global heating accelerates. 
     
     
     
    Weaving this analysis through fascinating critical histories of the terms that dominate the language of climate politics—the words we, alarmist, cost, growth, "India and China," innovation, and resilience—Dr. Guenther shows how this consensus is established. Fossil-fuel interests weaponize the discourses of science, economics, and activism, co-opting and twisting climate language to help greenwash their plans for ongoing extraction. But all too often climate scientists, economists, and even advocates will unwittingly echo the false and dangerous assumptions of their supposed political opponents. This apparent agreement between foes, filtered through the news media, not only influences our commonsense yet mistaken views about the climate crisis but also enables powerful decisionmakers to justify the corporate and policy actions that threaten us all. Revealing this dynamic, Guenther shows how to transform it.

    Food Health and Climate - Why It...

    By favoring mostly plant-based foods, we can actually save the world – and live longer, healthier lives. 
    A shift to mostly plant-based diets and new food technologies could solve our most important and pressing global problems. Issues like climate change, hunger, freshwater shortages, the Sixth Extinction, antibiotic resistance, and the threat of new pandemics might just melt away with the new food revolution. 
    According to official estimates, meat and other animal-based products account for around 20% of human-generated greenhouse gas emissions. However, the real figure must be significantly higher. Emissions from soils of grazing lands and fields growing cattle feed have not been included in the official statistics. Methane emissions from polluted lakes, rivers, reservoirs and shallow seas are still classified as natural emissions. Besides, cattle raising and fields growing animal feed threaten to transform the whole Amazonian rainforest to semi-dry savannah. If this happens, animal agriculture will become, overwhelmingly, the main driver for global warming. 
    Food, Health and Climate explains why it is not possible to halt global warming without reducing meat consumption. On the other hand, if we manage to shift to more sustainable eating habits, billions of hectares of land will be freed from animal farming and could be used to grow new conservation and carbon-sink forests, or to produce raw materials for new wood- and biomass-based products that could replace metals, concrete, plastics, and chemicals.
