Download or read book Yukon written by Polly Evans and published by Bradt Travel Guides. This book was released on 2010 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada's Yukon is one the world's last great wildernesses, where bears, moose and caribou roam. It's a place where hikers, paddlers, skiers and mushers can travel for days without seeing another human soul, where the northern lights dance green and red across starry skies, and where glaciers tumble, mountain peaks soar, and tundra shrubs scream scarlet as summer turns to fall. Bradt's Yukon is the only guidebook dedicated to this natural and historical wonderland. Offering practical advice on everything from where to pan for gold to how to avoid being eaten by a bear, alongside quirky anecdotes (such as the story behind the 'sourtoe cocktail' - a shot of whisky garnished with a severed human toe), it's the perfect companion for highway drivers, cruise-ship passengers, and outdoors enthusiasts alike.

Book Synopsis The Man Who Licks Rocks by : Raymond J. Mongeau
Download or read book The Man Who Licks Rocks written by Raymond J. Mongeau and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The earth is constantly changing, as it has for the past 4.6 billion years. The massive geological shifts that have happened over earth’s long history have led to various climate changes, including ice ages and warming periods. Despite dire warnings from various organizations, including the IPCC, human activity cannot be solely blamed for our current global warming episode, an episode that is unlikely be an oncoming crisis. We have bigger concerns. Our population is growing at an exponential rate, and our agricultural industries may not be able to keep up with the growing demand. Also, this is likely to lead to more deadly epidemics and pandemics in the near future comparable to or worse than the COVID-19 pandemic that is attacking humanity today. In The Man Who Licks Rocks, Raymond Mongeau explores in his personal memoir earth’s geological history and events based on years of experience in geology with the Geological Survey of Canada, the mineral exploration and mining investment industries to explain their effects on climate change. He developed a hypothesis to explain how the cyclic nature of limestone deposition in oceans is one of its primary effects. He delved with the unprecedented growing population crisis with its potentially future accompanying pandemics comparable to the COVID-19 pandemic that humanity is now facing and suggests these to be the primary crises world leaders should now be focusing on. Informative and entertaining, The Man Who Licks Rocks provides insight into the geology and the gold and base-metal mining industry in Canada and a different perspective on the crises that is facing humans today and in the near future.
Book Synopsis Mineral Resources by : Manuel Bustillo Revuelta
Download or read book Mineral Resources written by Manuel Bustillo Revuelta and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-23 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive textbook covers all major topics related to the utilization of mineral resources for human activities. It begins with general concepts like definitions of mineral resources, mineral resources and humans, recycling mineral resources, distribution of minerals resources across Earth, and international standards in mining, among others. Then it turns to a classification of mineral resources, covering the main types from a geological standpoint. The exploration of mineral resources is also treated, including geophysical methods of exploration, borehole geophysical logging, geochemical methods, drilling methods, and mineral deposit models in exploration. Further, the book addresses the evaluation of mineral resources, from sampling techniques to the economic evaluation of mining projects (i.e. types and density of sampling, mean grade definition and calculation, Sichel’s estimator, evaluation methods – classical and geostatistical, economic evaluation – NPV, IRR, and PP, estimation of risk, and software for evaluating mineral resources). It subsequently describes key mineral resource exploitation methods (open pit and underground mining) and the mineral processing required to obtain saleable products (crushing, grinding, sizing, ore separation, and concentrate dewatering, also with some text devoted to tailings dams). Lastly, the book discusses the environmental impact of mining, covering all the aspects of this very important topic, from the description of diverse impacts to the environmental impact assessment (EIA), which is essential in modern mining projects.

Book Synopsis John Rae, Arctic Explorer by : John Rae
Download or read book John Rae, Arctic Explorer written by John Rae and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 689 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Rae is best known today as the first European to reveal the fate of the Franklin Expedition, yet the range of Rae’s accomplishments is much greater. Over five expeditions, Rae mapped some 1,550 miles (2,494 kilometres) of Arctic coastline; he is undoubtedly one of the Arctic’s greatest explorers, yet today his significance is all but lost. John Rae, Arctic Explorer is an annotated version of Rae’s unfinished autobiography. William Barr has extended Rae’s previously unpublished manuscript and completed his story based on Rae’s reports and correspondence—including reaction to his revelations about the Franklin Expedition. Barr’s meticulously researched, long overdue presentation of Rae’s life and legacy is an immensely valuable addition to the literature of Arctic exploration.
Book Synopsis A Fishery Development Strategy for the Canadian Beaufort Sea-Amundsen Gulf Area by : D. B. Stewart
Download or read book A Fishery Development Strategy for the Canadian Beaufort Sea-Amundsen Gulf Area written by D. B. Stewart and published by Department of Fisheries and Oceans. This book was released on 1993 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was initiated for the Inuvialuit, by the Fisheries Joint Management Committee (FJMC), to assess opportunities for commercial fishery development in the Canadian Beaufort Sea-Amundsen Gulf area. Reviews of existing knowledge did not find invertebrate or fish stocks in the area capable of sustaining a viable commercial export fishery. They found that coastal and offshore commercial fisheries in arctic Canada are severely constrained by environmental, social, and economic factors. Lacking a proven resource base, the FJMC has two recommended options if it plans to proceed with fishery development: 1 ) to conduct biological stock assessment research in hope of locating a suitable stock, and 2) to seek1 development opportunities in other areas such as sport fisheries. Before any commercial development proceeds, it should have local support, be sustainable, and optimize benefits to the Inuvialuit. Given the difficulty and cost of fishery research and development in the area, it is vital that interested parties such as the FJMC, government, and others formulate an overall research and development strategy and work cooperatively towards its completion. An approach to fishery development is described, with a discussion of constraining factors and specific project recommendations
