Prospecting and exploration for manganese nodules has, as its
ultimate objective, the discovery and delineation of an area of the
ocean floor with reserves of sufficient quantity and quality to
support a mining operation under existing economic, technical and
political conditions. While prospecting concentrates primari lyon
the collection of geological information, an exploration programme
includes other activities that relate to the develop ment of
technology, financial analysis of the prospect and environmental
protection. Such work on a deposit in turn leads to the development
of a mine-site. The mine-site concept brings together information
in a way that recognizes the interplay among a number of dynamic
factors which must satisfy a set of technical and economic
conditions. Defining a mine-site, therefore, is a process of
accounting for those factors. Throughout the years of meetings of
the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea, many
questions arose about ocean mine-sites. Two related topics in
particular received attention: the total number of available
mine-sites, and the amount of area necessary for a mining
operation. Both of these topics have been subject to a great deal
of speculation, and even with the best available information, there
remains a degree of uncertainty that arises from both incomplete
knowledge and natural variability in the seabed and the resource,
and different technology and production objectives. For example,
estimates of the size of the area necessary for an ocean mine-site
vary even when made by the same company.

The number of travelers along the information superhighway is
increasing at a rate of 10 percent a month. How will this
communications revolution affect our culture and society? Pierre
Levy shows how the unfettered exchange of ideas in cyberspace has
the potential to liberate us from the social and political
hierarchies that have stood in the way of mankind's
advancement.Anthropologist, historian, sociologist, and
philosopher, Levy writes with a depth of scholarship and
imaginative insight rare among media critics. At once a profound
historical analysis of the development of human culture and a
blueprint for the future, "Collective Intelligence" is a visionary
work.
