Whether it’s gold or silver, coal or natural gas, or even
solar or wind power, the countries of North America have
always had plentiful natural resources. But the extraction
of these resources can have a cost, and in certain cases,
some have wondered if that cost is too high. The 12-
volume set, North American Natural Resources, will
explore all facets of this most-vital aspect of our economy.
EACH BOOK WILL INVESTIGATE THE NATURAL HISTORY,
HUMAN USE, TECHNOLOGY, ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES, AND
ECONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE OF A KEY NATURAL RESOURCE.
