In 1896, a small group of prospectors discovered a stunningly rich pocket of gold at the confluence of the Klondike and Yukon rivers, and in the following two years thousands of individuals traveled to the area, hoping to find wealth in a rugged and challenging setting. Ever since that time, the Klondike Gold Rush - especially as portrayed in photographs of long lines of gold seekers marching up Chilkoot Pass - has had a hold on the popular imagination. In this first environmental history of the gold rush, Kathryn Morse describes how the miners got to the Klondike, the mining technologies they employed, and the complex networks by which they obtained food, clothing, and tools. She looks at the political and economic debates surrounding the valuation of gold and the emerging industrial economy that exploited its extraction in Alaska, and explores the ways in which a web of connections among America�s transportation, supply, and marketing industries linked miners to other industrial and agricultural laborers across the country. The profound economic and cultural transformations that supported the Alaska-Yukon gold rush ultimately reverberate to modern times. The story Morse tells is often narrated through the diaries and letters of the miners themselves. The daunting challenges of traveling, working, and surviving in the raw wilderness are illustrated not only by the miners� compelling accounts but by newspaper reports and advertisements. Seattle played a key role as �gateway to the Klondike.� A public relations campaign lured potential miners to the West and local businesses seized the opportunity to make large profits while thousands of gold seekers streamed through Seattle. The drama of the miners� journeys north, their trials along the gold creeks, and their encounters with an extreme climate will appeal not only to scholars of the western environment and of late-19th-century industrialism, but to readers interested in reliving the vivid adventure of the West�s last great gold rush.

Gleaming and perfect, gold has beguiled humankind for many millennia, attracting treasure hunters, adorning the living and the dead, and symbolizing wealth, power, divinity, and eternity. This book offers a lively, critical look at the cultural history of this most regal metal, examining its importance across many cultures and time periods and the many places where it has been central, from religious ceremonies to colonial expeditions to modern science. Rebecca Zorach and Michael W. Phillips Jr. cast gold as a substance of paradoxes. Its softness at once makes it useless for most building projects yet highly suited for the exploration of form and the transmission—importantly—of images, such as the faces of rulers on currency. It has been the icon of value—the surest bet in times of uncertain markets—yet also of valuelessness, something King Midas learned the hard way. And, as Zorach and Phillips detail, it has been at the center of many clashes between cultures all throughout history, the unfortunate catalyst of countless blood lusts. Ultimately, they show that the questions posed by our relentless desire for gold are really questions about value itself. Lavishly illustrated, this book offers a shimmering exploration of the mythology, economy, aesthetics, and perils at the center of this simple—yet irresistible—substance.

From the award-winning author of Diamond: A blazing exploration of the human love affair with gold that “combines the engaging style of a travel narrative with sharp-eyed journalistic exposé” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, the price of gold skyrocketed—in three years more than doubling from $800 an ounce to $1900. This massive spike drove an unprecedented global gold-mining and exploration boom, much bigger than the gold rush of the 1800s. In Gold, acclaimed author Matthew Hart takes you on an unforgettable journey around the world and through history to tell the extraordinary story of how gold became the world’s most precious commodity. Beginning with a page-turning report from the crime-ridden inferno of the world’s deepest mine, Hart traveled around the world to the sites of the hottest action in gold today, from the biggest new mine in China, to the highly secretive London gold exchange, and the lair of the world’s most powerful gold trader in Geneva, Switzerland. He profiles the leaders of the gold market today, the nature of the current boom, and the likely prospects for the future. From the earliest civilizations, when gold was an icon of sacred and kingly power, Hart tracks its evolution, through conquest, murder, and international mayhem, into the speculative casino-chip that the metal has become. He ends by telling the story of the massive flows of gold that have occurred in the wake of the financial crisis and what the world’s leading experts are saying about the profound changes underway in the gold market and the prospects for the future. “Compelling, stylish, and impressively researched” (The Boston Globe), Gold is a wonderful historical odyssey with important implications for today’s global economy.

The content of gold in the earth′s crust is only 0.011 ppm, and it is unevenly distributed, that is, only under special geological conditions can there be gold mines, plus people think that gold is beautiful, so it is cherished by people. In this topic, we introduce gold samples from major gold producing areas, as well as the principles of detecting gold deposits and the formation of gold deposits. The features of this book are: 1. A more comprehensive introduction to the famous and unique gold mines on the earth. This book is undoubtedly a good reference for friends who want to get to know the gold mines. 2. It contains an introduction to the unique gold mines in Taiwan′s Jinguashi and Jiufen. This is the first time that gold mines in this place have been fully presented through a book. I would like to thank the Jinjiu mineral collector Zhang Yingjie, Xia Guoxiong old miner, Chen Huosheng old miner and others for providing specimens and assistance. Let the only remaining orphans in the gold mines here once again give the world a chance to appreciate them. 3. Although some foreign gold mines are not as exaggerated as orphans, they are also extremely rare. Some of them are not in the gallery. They are collected from more than 50 countries, more than 300 mines or places, and thousands of gold mines. The exquisite products selected from the specimens can be said to be beautiful. Taiwan′s early textbooks stated that Taiwan lacked metal minerals, and only a small amount of gold and copper was produced in Ruifang. It was not until the autumn of 1991 that my wife and I first visited Jinjiu (Jinkuashi and Jiufen are collectively called. Jinjiu is also the area where Ruifang produces gold and copper) that this introduction is very incorrect. At that time, it was not long before the Jinguashi Gold Mine ceased production (1987), and it was in a state of depression. With a feeling of learning and care, I asked the old miners about the relevant knowledge and information about the gold mine. As a result, I found that the old miners only knew how to mine gold, but don′t know much about the relevant academic principles. I originally thought that the reports or writings of government agencies and academic institutions could be fully accountable, but the situation was not satisfactory. Since I have been interested in chemistry for a long time, it can be considered a little basic, so I met with the old miners to help solve the mystery of the Jinguashi gold mine. In the next 20 years, as long as there is no work, I rode a motorcycle from Taoyuan to Jinguashi exploration, and discuss with old miners, nearly 800 round trips. Thirty years have passed, this book is considered complete, and finally the promise of the year has been fulfilled. Lin Chi Chou was born on January 22, 1958, in New Taipei City, Taiwan. Graduated from the Department of Nuclear Engineering, National Tsinghua University in 1980 After leaving the army in 1982, I devoted myself to science education. Currently the curator of Taoyuan Mineral Museum. If readers have comments, please contact me at [email protected]

Honey and Health - they go hand in hand. The book brings in the foreground the multiple benefits of honey. The nature' s gold stands out because of its multiple therapeutic characteristics, in particular the anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial features. These properties play a significant role in preventing aging and averting and treating degenerative, as well as chronic conditions, such as cardio-vascular and pulmonary diseases. By regular consumption, honey also boosts the immune system, so that it helps in preventing and treating infections. Overall, honey consumption reduces fatigue and is one of the most effective energizers in nature. The book represents a guide with numerous recipes for many conditions, also briefly and simply depicted. The authors never tired to warn about the importance of precisely following the recipes, and kept advising that the treatment should be applied under medical supervision. We hope you will appreciate the information presented and will take advantage of the nature's gold benefits shortly.

The guide to returning to a gold standard All that glitters is gold and gold has never glittered so much as it has in the last decade, reaching staggering new prices in recent years. The definitive modern argument to returning to a gold standard, The New Gold Standard succinctly and clearly explains the nature of sound money, the causes and cures of inflation and deflation, the importance of fiscal responsibility within a sound monetary system, and the reasons for recessions and depressions. Little has been written beyond academic histories of the gold standard, but gold standard expert Paul Nathan fills that void for the first time Written for beginning and professional investors, the book provides guidance on how a gold standard will strengthen the dollar, reduce debt, and help stabilize the economy, offering easily applied strategies for investing in gold now and in the future The degree of depressions and recessions and the boom bust cycle can be avoided with a sustainable, stable monetary policy The international return to gold is not a fad but a sign of a world in monetary transition As long as governments continue to print money and deficits continue to rise, gold will be a hot commodity. As inflation creeps up, more and more talk will turn to returning to some version of the gold standard, and The New Gold Standard is the first major work to explicitly address the challenges and benefits of such a move.
