Inhaltsangabe

""The Strategy of Minerals"" is a comprehensive study of the role that minerals play in America's global position, both in times of war and peace. Written by George Otis Smith, a renowned geologist and former director of the United States Geological Survey, this book explores the importance of minerals in the economy, military, and foreign policy of the United States. The book begins with an analysis of the historical significance of minerals, tracing their role in the rise and fall of empires throughout history. It then delves into the specific minerals that are critical to America's national security and economic prosperity, such as oil, coal, iron, and copper. Smith examines the challenges that America faces in securing these minerals, including competition from other nations and the risks associated with dependence on foreign sources. He also explores the potential for new discoveries and technological advances to shift the balance of power in the global mineral market. ""The Strategy of Minerals"" is a seminal work on the intersection of geology, economics, and geopolitics. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the critical role that minerals play in shaping America's position in the world, and offers insights into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
