Minerals from the Marine Environment - A new view

KENT,P. Minerals from the marine environment, Arnold. London, 1980.

A free old book that I got from the library. Quiet interesting book. It's open my view on the sea which I don't know that there are so many "treasure" from the sea other than the oil & fishes. The writer explained on various "treasure" can be discovered from the sea bed. From metal and non-metal minerals in various places in the world.

Weakness: Too "old" in this fields. Data and technologies presented are out-of-dated. Even the picture is in B&W.

OK for beginners like me.
Just wonder, if there are so many mineral in the sea, it is can be say that the total amount of element in this world has'nt changed since the first day GOD created the earth. Only think is that the element is changing from one to another but the total amount of them aren't evovled to another forms.
