Under a metal sky : a journey through minerals, greed, and wonder / by Marsden, Philip,1961-authorauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Ammonite -- Ochre : An Introduction -- Tin -- Peat -- Bronze -- Silver -- Radium -- Aerolite -- Mercury -- Copper -- Gold -- Lithium : A Coda -- Soil."The ground beneath our feet is full of riches: the ochre that allowed prehistoric humans to paint on the cave walls; the tin that drove the early Industrial Revolution; radium, the source of Marie Curie's wonder; and lithium, the essential mineral of modern life found in our mobile phones and laptops. Each of these minerals has a story to tell, and each has its place in the broader story of human history. Under a Metal Sky takes us on a journey across the peat-rich Dutch lowlands, through Prague and Bohemia, and on to the gold-rich mountains of Georgia. Along the way, Marsden uncovers the strange and colorful histories of alchemy, scientific revolution, industrialization, and technological innovation, peopled by figures like the Habsburg Emperor Rudolf II, Goethe, Marie Curie, and William Blake. But alongside wonder and inspiration, there has also been plunder and heedless exploitation, the consequences of which have set us on a path towards our own extinction"-- Provided by publisher.

Eliminating or minimizing alkali-silica reactivity / by Stark, D.(David)(CARDINAL)324795; Construction Technology Laboratories (Portland Cement Association)(CARDINAL)286967; Strategic Highway Research Program (U.S.)(CARDINAL)298325;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 265-266).Executive summary -- Introduction -- Nature and extent of ASR -- Rapid test to evaluate potential of aggregate for ASR -- Effects of lithium salts on ASR -- Mitigating ASR in existing concrete -- Summary -- Recommendations -- Appendices -- References.This investigation into various aspects of alkali silica reactivity (ASR) as it affects performance of highway structures, emphasized the practical needs of the concrete engineer with respect to the evaluation of the potential of aggregate for expansive ASR in new concrete, procedures to evaluate material for safe use in new concrete, and means to mitigate ASR and associated adverse effects in existing concrete. A rapid test method, based on immersion of mortar bars in sodium hydroxide solution, originated by the National Building Research Institute of South Africa was evaluated and extended to identify cement alkali levels and pozzolan proportions required to prevent deleterious ASR with particular aggregate. The efficacy of using lithium salts in concrete to suppress expansion due to ASR was researched.Performing organization: Construction Technology Laboratories, Inc., under contract no.
