Gold continues to be among the most costly commodities, but its extraction is notoriously harmful to human and natural communities alike. In fact only about seven percent of all gold bought worldwide annually finds its way into applications in science and medicine. The remainder is stored in bank safes and jewelry stores.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo where did our obsession with gold begin? Arguably with the gold rushes which began hundreds of years ago. In this discussion we will look at the gold rushes throughout history and how they led us to where we are today in terms of gold mining and how unsustainable the practice has come in the 21st Century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscover great benefits inside this book: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistory of your and others' ancestors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheir culture and how it affected their way of living \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdmirable and inspiring historical figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAncient stories, myths, and legends and how they impacted the people of that time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe importance of storytelling and its impact on your present self \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKids love this book, and it helps them to: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild a stronger sense of self through exploring their roots and culture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmulate the courage and bravery of heroic figures in history\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe curious about the struggles and triumphs of their ancestors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearn to ask relevant questions about the nature of our lives \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppreciate the inventions and innovations that make our lives better today\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelop an understanding of how modern societies came to be\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnect with others through sharing of stories \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBonus for You included as downloads inside every book: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798224493968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ched Ed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.16d","brand":"History","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49000751923455,"sku":"9798224493968","price":9.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gold-rush-history-9798224493968","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
