Dr. Boyle has extensive experience in the study of gold deposits. With a global reputation, Dr. Boyle covers gold mining history, sources, and geology, using key publications to illustrate the evolution of modern concepts. The book contains a wealth of information concerning gold.
The Society of Economic Geologists aims to engage a wide audience with the book on gold geology, presenting gold not just as a symbol of wealth but as a mineral commodity. The book covers the evolving knowledge of gold’s geology and its enduring popularity, offering readers insight into the historical understanding of gold occurrences and sources.
In the 1960s the Society considered and rejected the idea of publishing a series of single-topic, review benchmark-type volumes.In the 1980s, they revived the idea with this volume on gold as the first of a series. Now, they have placed this idea in abeyance, and it is unlikely that anyone will revive it. The reception of this volume may determine the future of other commodity-oriented, review-type books that the Society of Economic Geologists prepares.
