This handbook summarizes the main advances in our understanding of
marine minerals and concentrates on the deposits of proven economic
potential. In cases where our knowledge may be too limited to allow
defining of their economic potential, those minerals are covered
regionally or by deposit type.
Handbook of Marine Mineral Deposits is divided into three sections;
Marine placers, manganese nodules and crusts, and deep-sea
hydrothermal mineralization. All of these mineral deposits have
great potential importance to economic geologists and marine
mines.
Edited by an acknowledged expert in the field, this handbook
includes work by internationally renowned contributors. The new
United Nations Law of the Sea, ratified by over 100 countries
within the past two years, provides a framework and guidelines for
deep-sea mineral exploration that increases international interest
in this book. The Handbook serves as a platform from which to
launch the more detailed evaluation studies that will need to take
place in the 21st century before recovery can continue or commence.
Handbook of Marine Mineral Deposits is
useful to mineralogists, economic geologists, marine geologists,
marine miners, and conservationists.
Features
A fully flexible component mix means the course can be adapted to

Thinkers section, with its focus on Social and Emotional Learning,
allows students to develop the emotional intelligence and critical
thinking skills they will need for life. With the Virtual Classroom
Exchange feature, students can connect with their peers in another
country, so they can learn about culture and practise their English
in an authentic and rewarding context. The Student's App includes
gamified activities to make language practice easy and enjoyable,
and enables teachers to set assignments for students to complete on
their favourite devices. Teachers can monitor students' learning
through the Progress Tracker in the Teacher's App.
Against the background of increasing interest in the changing
nature and quality of work, The Political Economy of Work offers a
new and unique assessment of the theoretical analysis of work. The
author challenges some common preconceptions about work and
promotes an original approach to the field, contemplating the
nature and development of ideas on work and its impact on human
well-being drawing on such burgeoning literatures as the 'economics
of happiness'. Spencer approaches the subject through a careful
examination of the history of thought on work over the last three
hundred years. A key focus is the development of ideas on work in
mainstream economics, starting with the mercantilists and the
classical economists, and continuing with neoclassical economists
(e.g. Jevons, Marshall). The contributions of modern approaches
including the new 'information-theoretic' economics and the new
'economics of happiness' are also discussed. The author sees flaws
in the depiction of work in mainstream economics and instead draws
insight from the writings of critics of the mainstream paradigm,
such as the nineteenth century 'utopian' writers (Godwin, Fourier,
Carlyle, Ruskin, Morris), Marx, and the old institutional
economists (Commons, Veblen). The alternative approach outlined in
the book stresses the barriers to rewarding work under capitalism
and develops a case for radical change in the organisation of work.
The book cuts across different disciplinary boundaries and is
likely to appeal to researchers in a number of different fields,
including labour economics, labour history, the sociology of work,
industrial relations, and human resource management. It will appeal
to all those who wish to promote a more critical understanding of
the role that work can and ought to play in society.
