Reviews
"A thought-provoking book that follows the trail of these elements [that] . . . are no less transformative--and are possibly just as valuable--as oil and coal."-- The Economist "In The Elements of Power , David Abraham attempts to peel back the screen on our devices and discover what's behind."--Henry Sanderson, Financial Times "[A] fascinating and important book."--Rupert Edis, Sunday Times "Excellent . . . Anyone concerned about how we balance sustainability with a high-tech future should read this book."-- Disruptive Discoveries Journal "Abraham deftly explains why the age of technology is also the age of rare metals--and what that could mean for the world. This book lays the groundwork for an important discussion we need to have."--Ian Bremmer, president of Eurasia Group, and author of Every Nation for Itself "For those of us who marvel at hybrid cars, smartphones, and wind turbines, but don't really know where indium, europium, and tantalum come from, an uneasy feeling is beginning to gnaw. In this extraordinary book, Abraham shows that the countries that control rare metals will control the future. His exhaustive research and vivid explanations are alarming and compelling."--Robert C. (Bud) McFarlane, former National Security Advisor and cofounder of the United States Energy Security Council "With intelligence and nuance, Abraham sounds the alarm and brings attention to a coming resource conundrum. We are entering an age when the need for mere grams of obscure-sounding metals will have vast geopolitical consequences."--James Stavridis, Dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University and Supreme Allied Commander, NATO (2009 to 2013) "Abraham unearths fascinating tales of a set of metals which may seem inconsequential, but underpin our lifestyles in ways few outside of scientific and select business circles understand."--Roderick G. Eggert, Colorado School of Mines and Critical Materials Institute "David Abraham makes a complex, hidden but important subject both accessible and fascinating. Combining first-hand accounts with global statistics, he portrays the full picture of rare metals. His warnings and recommendations deserve our attention."--Dennis Blair, Former Director of National Intelligence, "A thought-provoking book that follows the trail of these elements [that] . . . are no less transformative--and are possibly just as valuable--as oil and coal."-- The Economist "In The Elements of Power , David Abraham attempts to peel back the screen on our devices and discover what's behind."--Henry Sanderson, Financial Times "[A] fascinating and important book."--Rupert Edis, Sunday Times "Excellent . . . Anyone concerned about how we balance sustainability with a high-tech future should read this book."-- Disruptive Discoveries Journal Winner of the 2016 Excellence in Journalism Award given by the Renewable Natural Resources Foundation "Abraham deftly explains why the age of technology is also the age of rare metals--and what that could mean for the world.

Eggert, Colorado School of Mines and Critical Materials Institute "In The Elements of Power , David Abraham explores a phenomena essential to our everyday lives and our future, but rarely studied or understood in the context of global policy or daily life. This is a book not just for specialists but also for those who are trying to chart a sustainable future for the world."--Christie Todd Whitman, 50th governor of New Jersey, former Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency

Synopsis
A natural resource strategist investigates the growing global demand for rare metals and what it means to the environment and our future Our future hinges on a set of elements that few of us have even heard of. In this surprising and revealing book, David S. Abraham unveils what rare metals are and why our electronic gadgets, the most powerful armies, and indeed the fate of our planet depend on them. These metals have become the building blocks of modern society; their properties are now essential for nearly all our electronic, military, and "green" technologies. But their growing use is not without environmental, economic, and geopolitical consequences. Abraham traces these elements' hidden paths from mines to our living rooms, from the remote hills of China to the frozen Gulf of Finland, providing vivid accounts of those who produce, trade, and rely on rare metals. He argues that these materials are increasingly playing a significant role in global affairs, conferring strength to countries and companies that can ensure sustainable supplies. Just as oil, iron, and bronze revolutionized previous eras, so too will these metals. The challenges this book reveals, and the plans it proposes, make it essential reading for our rare metal age.

- 7***j (878)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI recently purchased an item from this eBay seller, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.All the President's Men - 9780671894412, paperback, Bob Woodward (Nr. 396668604901)
- r***r (7572)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThe seller Orion Tech LLC is one of my occasional shopping sites. This purchase I had a problem, the only one so far. The books were packed well, shipped quickly and just as described. But this was not the book I ordered. I sent two photos of the book received and the ISBN code and I received a prompt refund. I bought two books the third book was free! I am still delighted being an Orion Tech Books customer and will be shopping at Orion Tech Books in the future. Thank you.
- i***2 (84)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThis is a great seller. I had a minor issue with my book not matching the listing picture (right book, wrong edition/cover) and the seller was very responsive and helpful. I will definitely buy used books from here again, it is a great value with quick shipping. However, if you are looking for a specific edition/cover of a book, triple check the ISBN before you buy, because sometimes the listing photo is sourced from a third-party and may not match the ISBN.
