Soft cover. Condition: New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. The Great Basin is a mosaic of geographic contrasts: steep rugged mountains, harsh dry salty lakebeds, and sweeping valleys, and while the high desert and mountains of Nevada may appear desolate, but those who choose to look and linger will find Nevada ruggedly beautiful and home to mineralogical treasures. Bonanza deposits of silver attracted mid-nineteenth century miners to the Nevada desert. Then, as the rich Comstock Lode played out, deposits yielding copper, antimony, mercury, and undreamed of quantities of gold were brought online. Today the "Silver State" is by far the largest domestic producer of gold. And not just of the disseminated variety; visible, collectible gold has been found and is waiting to be discovered all around the state. From silver, barite, orpiment, opal, gold, turquoise, and stibnite to a host of rare species, mineral specimens and lapidary materials from Nevada are sought by collectors the world over. And Lithographie's monograph "Nevada - Jackpot!" celebrates them in all their glory. Nevada mining and mineral experts share their insights into the state's mining history, geology, localities, and specimens. Their texts are brilliantly illuminated with images by photographic talents both local and international. Complete with a one-of-a-kind 16-by-18-inch, indexed map of the state's localities, "Nevada" is simply a must for the libraries of mineral collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Byers, born February 1931 died March 2018, Bob edited the novel Blazing Night and the first chapter of Blue Earth. According to him, lots of corrections were needed on every page. He not only marked these, but read the text loud and made sure it sounded great. For him J. M. K. Walkow is 'the Canadian Conrad'. Joseph Conrad, born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. According to a local paper in January of 2013, Blazing Night is a self-described naturalistic fantasy tale, five years in the making, as 'part fantasy, part science fiction and there's some real science in there, too.' J. M. K. Walkow began the novel when he was unemployed in 2004, and wrote it in about four months. 'I was looking for work while my sons were going to French immersion school. We spent hours in the public library, and I was reading some books and helping them with their French and one day I just started writing,' he said.
