Book excerpt: "The Mineral Exploration and Mining Strategy is the plan of the Government of Nunavut to create opportunities for the future self-reliance of Nunavut and Nunavummiut through the sustainable development of our mineral resources. It is intended to guide that development in the period leading up to the devolution of management responsibilities for lands and resources from the federal government. The goal of the strategy is: "To create the conditions for a strong and sustainable minerals industry that contributes to a high and sustainable quality of life for all Nunavummiut." The Mineral Exploration and Mining Strategy is built on the Government's vision contained in Pinasuaqtavut and on Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit. The Strategy rests securely on the following four Pillars. These Pillars are the frameworks for the Policies and Action Plans of the Strategy, which determine how we will actively engage Nunavummiut in the mineral exploration and mining industry. Pillar 1- Jurisdictional Framework: We must put a solid foundation of sound legislation, regulations, and policies in place to facilitate the development of a mining industry that will achieve our vision. Pillar 2 - Community Benefits: We need to find the strategies and initiatives that will build on our strengths and allow our people and communities to become full participants with a true sense of ownership in our minerals economy. Pillars 3 - Infrastructure Development: We must take advantage of opportunities to improve and build our infrastructure so that developments in one sector of our economy provide broad benefits throughout other economic sectors. Pillar 4 - Environmental Stewardship: At all times we must recognize the importance of protecting our environment and ensuring that the environmental effects of mining are always minimized and that the industry earns respect and acknowledgement as being a guardian of a clean and healthy environment. Within these Pillars there are 16 policy positions and 22 action items. The policy positions will establish a clear policy framework for the Government of Nunavut's support for mineral exploration and mining. The action items will prepare Nunavut to ensure the mining industry provides substantive and sustainable benefits to the territory and that negative impacts are minimized"--ASTIS database.

Book excerpt: This is a discount Black and white version. Some images may be unclear, please see BCCampus website for the digital version.This book was born out of a 2014 meeting of earth science educators representing most of the universities and colleges in British Columbia, and nurtured by a widely shared frustration that many students are not thriving in courses because textbooks have become too expensive for them to buy. But the real inspiration comes from a fascination for the spectacular geology of western Canada and the many decades that the author spent exploring this region along with colleagues, students, family, and friends. My goal has been to provide an accessible and comprehensive guide to the important topics of geology, richly illustrated with examples from western Canada. Although this text is intended to complement a typical first-year course in physical geology, its contents could be applied to numerous other related courses.

Download or read book The Periodic Table written by Eric R. Scerri and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The periodic table of elements is among the most recognizable image in science. It lies at the core of chemistry and embodies the most fundamental principles of science. In this new edition, Eric Scerri offers readers a complete and updated history and philosophy of the periodic table. Written in a lively style to appeal to experts and interested lay-persons alike, The Periodic Table: Its Story and Its Significance begins with an overview of the importance of the periodic table and the manner in which the term "element" has been interpreted by chemists and philosophers across time. The book traces the evolution and development of the periodic table from its early beginnings with the work of the precursors like De Chancourtois, Newlands and Meyer to Mendeleev's 1869 first published table and beyond. Several chapters are devoted to developments in 20th century physics, especially quantum mechanics and and the extent to which they explain the periodic table in a more fundamental way. Other chapters examine the formation of the elements, nuclear structure, the discovery of the last seven infra-uranium elements, and the synthesis of trans-uranium elements. Finally, the book considers the many different ways of representing the periodic system and the quest for an optimal arrangement.
