“The story of man's search for gold is as long as recorded time. No other metal has so captivated the human mind, and no other natural substance has been the source of so much bloodshed and violence. At the same time, gold has been instrumental, to a far greater degree than most other commodities, in providing real benefits to civilisation. With this initial statement the author proceeds to cover all the important aspects of gold : its extraction, properties, uses, its development from a purely decorative function to its role as coinage, investment medium and international reserve asset. The author also deals with the gold markets and gives a prediction as to the likely future gold market developments and their implications for gold investors and the international monetary system.” — Table : 1. Gold : Importance, Scientific Properties and Methods of Extraction ; 2. Early History, The Great Gold Rushes, and the Development of Coinage ; 3. The Gold Standard : Its Historical Role and Relevance for the Future ; 4. The Role and Importance of Gold in the International Monetary System ; 5. Gold : The Major Factors affecting its Supply, Demand and Price ; 6. Gold as an Investment ; 7. The World's Gold Markets ; 8. The Future of Gold.

Marie Christine Cabaud Contes the Nepal of Flowers and Gold
2007 2007. Marie Christine Cabaud Contes the Nepal of Flowers and Gold Tbe The description of this item has been automatically translated. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us. In very good shape complete and solid without tears or annotations; interior very good condition clean and still fresh Tales like great poetic works interweave the phonic or musical effects of language on a web of images metaphors and symbols. But like the great literary fictions their statements refer to an imaginary world where the heroes have neither past nor future. Combining thus the aesthetic concern and the exit out of the historical time they incontestably belong to literature as art. in the same way as works of traditional genre (epic dramatic romantic. ). As moreover they express the most ambiguous and most conflicting situations between the sexes generations or social categories they seem to be waking dreams out of the unconscious common to the human group which carries them. The content of a dream is specific to the dreamer and provides information only on the individual unconscious of this dreamer. But among all the reasons for stories many of them remain comparable in all human communities despite a variable cultural background. They are thus windows opened on an unconscious proper to the whole of human society an unconscious from which spring archaic affectivity and the original anxieties of being. Reading stories also becomes a powerful mode of investigation of the human spirit as well as a tool for knowing oneself and others. It is from these two angles literary quality and mode of introspection that we wish to make known these tales of Nepal. The reader will be able to note that this profane mythology is finally more familiar to him than he could imagine at the start. He will thus have taken a big step towards the other and towards himself. Finally let's hope that the humor of some of these stories will give him the soothing effect he expects from any form of art. Biography: Marie-Christine Cabaud a lawyer by her initial training became a linguist and orientalist through the diploma of the former School of Oriental Languages and a thesis in ethnolinguistics at the School of Advanced Studies in Social Sciences. As a lecturer she has been teaching Nepali the official language of Nepal for many years at the Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations. It is in this language that she collected the stories presented here. Having attached herself by taste to the study of story patterns she is the author of several articles and works in which she has tried to apply the rigor of legal reading to this so-called popular literature. sending in Mondial Relay for France (with follow-up towards a relay point); for the other countries sending in economy up to 30 euros of purchases beyond sending in international colissimo colossally more expensive no sending for DOM TOM for France the sending is always possible by the Post office in colissimo but it is more expensive or even many books in my shop ;.for France and Belgium if other purchases are added to this order the shipping costs increase very little if not at all ; in this case ask me for the corrective invoice after the last purchase.
