Abstract

In this collection of innovative essays an international team of contributors provides theoretical, methodological and substantive empirical analysis of migration in Latin America. Ranging in time from the sixteenth through the mid-nineteenth century, the studies will attract the attention of all Latin American specialists. They provide conclusive evidence of the ubiquity of migration in the early modern period, challenging views of immobile peasants held in the grip of static colonialism. They show that to migrate was one of the most important means of coping with Spanish colonialism. The essays are written from a multi-disciplinary perspective and thus provide data and interpretations that are novel and represent important contributions to colonial Latin American studies. They address the basic questions of who migrated, why did they migrate, how can one interpret migration fields, what role did economic opportunity or ecological conditions play, and not least, what was the impact of migrants on non-migrant communities in both rural and urban areas. The picture that emerges is one of colonial Spanish America in continual flux: spatial mobility was no less pronounced than social/racial change.

Abstract

The Energy Economy offers practical and topical discussions about the most important economic issue of current times: energy. "Robinson's text embraces the notion that competitive, reliable, safe and diverse energy helped make the United States a global manufacturing power; it provides a guide to retaining and strengthening this advantage by building a regional energy sector to drive innovation that is of the utmost importance to every state and city and to our overall economic development competitiveness." - Kenny McDonald, President, Columbus 2020, USA"America is enjoying the 'Age of Energy' as regions and states are growing through energy development in ways not seen in over 100 years. Robinson's The Energy Economy captures how communities big and small are utilizing an energy-led economic development strategy to foster economic success." - Michael C. Carroll, Professor and Director, Center for Regional Development, Bowling Green State University, USA"Energy is the centerpiece of the fastest growing regions around the world. The Energy Economy provides an excellent guide for how a smart approach to the energy industry can produce economic success." - Mark James, Vice President for Economic Development, American Electric Power, USA.

Abstract

Clays are increasingly becoming a major problem in the mining, extraction and value-adding processes for a wide range of commodity raw materials. Clays can impact negatively on virtually every unit process within the mining and minerals processing sector, having long-term environmental implications that go well beyond the lifetime of the mining operation. This book is the first to compile, explain and evaluate the effects of clays in the mineral processing value chain, from mining to minerals processing, and finally, tailings disposal. Focusing on topics from the chemistry and rheology of clays to their detection and dissolution behaviour, this book provides comprehensive coverage of the effects on processes such as settling, preg-robing, flotation and comminution. It is an excellent reference for professional mineralogists and geologists, industrial engineers, and researchers interested in clays and clay minerals.
