About This Item
Cape Town, Johannesburg: Howard Timmins, 1982 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. Contents 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. ------------------ Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
