Beskrivning

During the past century, scientists, world statesmen, and international entrepreneurs have become increasingly aware of the potential of the oceans as a source of minerals. This book provides an authoritative picture of the current state of marine mineral extraction. A major work of reference, it will be essential reading for both those engaged in maritime studies and for professional organisations involved in the extraction of underwater minerals.

Recensioner i media

`This is a fine book which bids fair to be the standard work on marine mineral resources for some years. It can be recommended with absolute confidence to all university libraries and individuals and firms interested in the marine mining industry, a subject which Earney has made his own amongst geographers.' - Progress in Human Geography
