Agromining: Farming for Metals
This is the first book on global agromining/phytomining technology. It presents the complete metal farming or agromining chain; an emerging technology expected to be transformative in the extraction of resources of those elements not accessible by traditional mining techniques. Meeting the demand for critical minerals (rare earth elements, platinum group elements, nickel cobalt) is increasingly difficult in the 21st century due to resource depletion and geopolitical factors. Agromining uses hyperaccumulator plants as “metal crops” farmed on sub-economic soils or mineral waste to obtain valuable elements. This book, which follows the metal farming chain, starts with the latest information...

Anthropisation des paysages katangais
Le concept d'anthropisation fait référence à ces dynamiques observées au sein des paysages et écosystèmes dont la cause peut être mise en relation avec des activités humaines qui, par conséquent, pourraient être considérées comme des perturbations des équilibres naturels. Le développement agricole, l'expansion des exploitations minières et la croissance des centres urbains en sont des exemples typiques. Cette présence de l'homme comme perturbateur des systèmes naturels et les conséquences environnementales de ses actes forment le leitmotiv de cet ouvrage. Le livre s'adresse à ceux qui s'intéressent aux écosystèmes uniques de l'ancienne province du Katanga, en particulie...

Decorative Games
This book features an extraordinary album of ornament designs by the French architect Gilles-Marie Oppenord (1672-1742). For the first time, this publication reproduces in their initial state the embellishments Oppenord drew over the first French edition of Cesare Ripa's Iconologia. In lieu of a haphazard succession of sketches, it reveals Oppenord's fascinating interplay between text, engraved and drawn images, one patterned on the art of conversation and the linguistic games cultivated in elite Parisian circles.
