IN A WORLD OF NARROW SPECIALISTS, ONE-ISSUE RESEARCHERS, 4
MILLION PIECES OF ACCUMULATED LITERATURE IN MANY LANGUAGES, I OFFER THE
SERVICES OF A GENERAL PRACTITIONER WHO HAS PERSONALLY VISITED AND
SAMPLED MOST TERRESTRIAL TYPES OF ORES, IN A MAJORITY OF GEOLOGICAL
SETTINGS, AND WHO DEVELOPED THE ALL IMPORTANT "FEELING" FOR ORES BASED
ON EXPERIENCE. HAVING BEEN THERE, I ALSO KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE WORLD
POLITICS, ECONOMICS, LOCAL WAYS OF DOING THINGS AND CAN GET
INDEPENDENTLY TO MOST PLACES |
