Treasures of the Earth

Would the world be a better place if human societies were somehow able to curb their desires for material goods? This book argues that simply disavowing consumption of materials is not likely to help in planning for a resource-scarce future, given global inequality, development imperatives and our goals for a democratic global society.

Mining, the Environment, and Indigenous Development Conflicts

Examines environmental conflicts between mining companies and indigenous communities and offers a comparative study of the factors leading to those conflicts. Ali presents four cases from the United States and Canada that exemplify different historical relationships with government and industry and provide an instance of high and low levels of Native resistance in each country. Through these cases, Ali analyzes why and under what circumstances tribes agree to negotiated mining agreements on their lands, and why some negotiations are successful and others not. It is refreshing to find a strong work grounded in social science theory that is also engaging for casual readers.? ?Montana, the Magazine of Western History An important contribution to our understanding of the factors influencing decision making among these groups in both nations.? ?Ken Pepion, Harvard University Native American Studies Program

Extracting Innovations

"This wide-ranging compendium scans a broad horizon of current extractives industry issues, as well as offering some tantalizing glimpses into the future."-- Tom Butler, CEO, International Council on Metals and Mining (ICMM), London, United Kingdom "The mining and oil & gas industries are quickly becoming more technology-intensive, and this book helpfully examines many of the technological forces and innovations ushering in these changes around the world. I would highly recommend this book for anybody who needs to think about the future of these industries." — Rustem R. Shagiev, Moscow Petroleum Institute, Russia "…examines the nature, trends, drivers, and challenges of innovation in the extractive industries, such as oil and gas and mining, through a series of essays and vignettes. Among the issues addressed are why the extractive sectors are historically slow to adopt and use new technology; what strategies can improve innovation and uptake; what new technologies will shape the sector going forward; how digital technologies are changing the competitive landscape and industry architecture; and how new technologies could improve social performance and environmental stewardship." -- Journal of Petroleum Technology, November 2018
