Traders; References; IndexAt a time when the world is grappling with rising food and energy prices and climate change, Living in a Material World provides an insight into some of the contributing factors behind these challenges. The emergence of new consumers in China, India, Russia and the Middle East has added formidable competition to the natural resources that have been taken for granted in the developed world. Everything we consume involves the use of metals, fossil fuels or agriculture. Our high tech 'lifestyles' depend on the secure supply of these raw materials which we take from planet earth and use to make Commodity futuresCommodity exchangesElectronic books.Commodity futures.Commodity exchanges.332.6328332.64/4Morrison Kevin1964-906006MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910145262803321Living in a material world2026359UNINA02032oam 2200421zu 450 991101884120332120210807004635.01-118-66975-4(CKB)3450000000004186(SSID)ssj0001034014(PQKBManifestationID)11598932(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001034014(PQKBWorkID)11006525(PQKB)11072278(NjHacI)993450000000004186(PPN)189676957(EXLCZ)99345000000000418620160829d2013 uy engur|||||||||||txtccrThe Industrial Minerals and Rodingite Dikes of the Hunting Hill Serpentinite Mass, Montgomery County, Maryland: Hunting Hill Quarry, Maryland, July 12 1989[Place of publication not identified]American Geophysical Union20131 online resource (412 pages)Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-87590-567-6 The Hunting Hill Quarry is located about 17 miles (27 km) northwest of the Washington, D.C. Convention Center. This quarry was opened in 1955 by Rockville Crushed Stone, Inc. and now serves as a major source of crushed stone for Montgomery County and the Washington D.C. area (Fig. 1). Since its inception the quarry has produced approximately 100,000,000 tons (907,200,000 mt) of stone, most of which has been used as an aggregate for asphalt and as a sub-base for roads. Fines, because of the fibrous nature of the mineral constituents, are in demand as a filler in asphalt.Mines and mineral resourcesMines and mineral resources.333.85Brooks James R49097PQKBBOOK9911018841203321The Industrial Minerals and Rodingite Dikes of the Hunting Hill Serpentinite Mass, Montgomery County, Maryland: Hunting Hill Quarry, Maryland, July 12 19892066185UNINA
