Without the encouragement and assistance of Dorothy Hussey, a good friend and wonderful person, I would have never undertaken this endeavor. Being literate, she knew that there is very little recorded history of a people and industry that have been so important to Western North Carolina. Thanks, Dorothy.
Without the aid of local news, newspapers and other printed material, this would have been a most difficult task. <...>

The Arkansas bauxite region lies near the center of the State in Pulaski and Saline Counties. It is irregular in outline, covering about 275 square miles and is elongate in a northeasterly direction. Bauxite deposits in the region can be grouped into two principal districts, one in Pulaski County about 5 miles south of Little Rock, and the other, more important commercially, about 25 miles southwest in Saline County.

This book was inspired when I began to teach California geology at the college level and found there were no books suitable for such a course. All the books on the market either were grossly out of date or didn’t discuss the modern understanding of California tectonics. California has one of the most amazing and complex histories of any state in the United States, and so the simplistic approaches of the books currently on the market do not do it justice.

Alaskan-type ultramafic-mafic intrusions occur along a belt that extends from Duke Island to Klukwan in southeastern Alaska and fall into two age groups400 to 440 Ma; and 100 to 118 Ma. Most of the intrusions occur in the Alexander terrane or in the Gravina overlap assemblage, but they are not restricted to these terranes. The Alaskan-type ultramafic bodies range in size from sills only a few meters thick to intrusions about 10 km in maximum exposed dimension. Most of the bodies consist of magnetite-bearing hornblende clinopyroxenite or hornblendite, however many of the larger ones also include dunite, wehrlite, olivine clinopyroxenite, and, in some cases, gabbro.

The Phanerozoic history of North America can be divided into three broad phases:
During the first phase, which lasted from the Late Precambrian to the Triassic, Pangea was under construction. The western continental margin was either a divergent (‘‘passive’’) margin, facing the paleo-Pacific Ocean (Panthalassa) or a backarc basin bordering that ocean, while the eastern margin, beginning in the Middle Ordovician, underwent convergent and collisional tectonism, with the generation of the Appalachian orogen.

Charles Janin является одним из лучших знатоков драгирования в Соединенных Штатах. В своей книге «Gold Dredging in the United States», которую on любезно разрешил перевести на русский язык, он не только излагает оперативные приемы драгирования, разведки месторождений и подготовки их к работам, не только приводит данные о себестоимости дражных работ, но и дает подробное описание дражных конструкций.
