Recenzje

'I can think of a host of readers gaining insights from this book, a most accomplished handbook of the primary commodities in the global economy … it provides a good overview of all the commodity-producing industries, from both a theoretical and a practical perspective. Easy to read and assimilate, it should be required reading not just for students but also within companies and government departments.' Anton Löf, Mineral Economics
